What kinds of atoms are fusing or combining together inside the sun?

At the age the sun is now it is still fusing hydrogen into helium.


Do hydrogen make stars?

technically speaking, stars are first made of Hydrogen. The moment the star comes to life, it starts fusing together Hydrogen atoms, forming helium. when a star is nearing the end of its life, it starts fusing together helium and keeps on fusing until there is nothing more to fuse. then, the star dies.


When hydrogen changes into helium does it explode as fiery energy?

The fusion of two hydrogen atoms yielding a helium atom expels a large amount energy.


How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?

The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.


How do hydrogen atoms form helium atoms after the big bang?

By a nuclear fusion reaction: H + H + 2n ==>> He Yes, this is true. I want, here, to put it into a better picture for common folk. This Bang is similar to the nuclear furnace that is out Sun. There, hydrogen atoms are fusing to other hydrogen atoms. It happens because gravity strength forces them together. The result is a helium atom(s) plus excess energy. That excess radiation is what blinds you when you try to look at the sun.

What kind of atom is fused with hydrogen to create energy on your sun?

Hydrogen: the mutual fusing of H atoms into Helium, with consequent release of energy.


What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?

The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.


What natural gases give power to the sun?

Our sun gets energy from fusing hydrogen atoms with neutrons to form helium atoms.


What energy has sun fusing helium atoms in hydrogen and release energy?

Nuclear fusion is a process where multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release of energy. The nuclear fusion process is responsible for the fusion of helium of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms in the core of the sun.


Why is the amount of hydrogen in the sun decreasing?

The sun is fusing hydrogen atoms together, turning them into helium.


Are stars made of cells?

No. Standard sized young Stars are made up of hydrogen atoms fusing themselves into helium atoms and giving off lots of Energy.
