How nuclear fusion in a main sequence is different from nuclear fusion in a giant star?
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.
How is nuclear fusion in a main-sequence star is different from nuclear fusion in a giant star.?
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.
Does a red main sequence star have fusion?
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
What is a giant ball of hot gases that undergo nuclear fusion?
a star
What gas giant has nuclear fusion on it?
None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)
What is a giant ball of gas primarily hydrogen and helium which undergoes nuclear fusion?
Star
How differ the sun and polaris?
The sun is a main sequence star whereas Polaris is a super-giant.
How does fusion differ for high mass stars and low mass stars?
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.
What is the process they generates energy into the core of the main sequence star?
Hydrogen fusion to make helium. When a star runs out of hydrogen in its core to fuse, it begins collapsing, leaves the main sequence, then ignites helium fusion to make carbon, becoming a red giant.
Is a red giant a main sequence star?
No, a red giant is a star that has just left the hydrogen burning main sequence and begun the next step, burning helium. As helium undergoes fusion at a much higher temperature than hydrogen undergoes fusion, the star expands dramatically and as it expands its outer layers cool to red heat.
The Star providing heat and light to the earth?
The giant ball of nuclear fusion at the centre of the solar system, the star known as the sun.
What happens to main sequence stars when energy from fusion is no longer available?
The star will move on to its next stage of evolution, along the Red Giant branch.
