Ever since the earth formed and the sun burst into light, the sun's light, which is created from nuclear fusion on our local star, has warmed the earth from the outside. Sunlight is directly responsible for the continuation of life on earth. If the sun suddenly went dark, most life on earth would die, and the rest would freeze solid in a ball of ice.

How has nuclear fusion always warmed the earth from the inside?
Much of the heat in the core of the Earth is residual from heat created billions of years back, and some of this was created in fusion reactions in stars. There are other nuclear actions at work in the core of the Earth, however. The more important of these is nuclear decay, which is what most radioactive atoms undergo. This releases energy in the form of heat, which is the trapped underground until it can escape - a very long time. Less commonly, some isotopes, most notably uranium-235, undergo fission. This is a much more energetic process, but is not common because there is not much of this isotope around.
What happens to liquid oxygen when it is warmed?
When warmed, liquid oxygen changes to a gas for delivery to the patient.
What layer that is warmed from below by the ozone?
The ozone is present inside the ozone layer. The layer warmed below the ozone is the stratosphere or upper troposphere.
What is warmed by the heat from Earth's surface?
themosphere
What happens when a solid is warmed and why?
mass and something are same
How is it that radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and nuclear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
That's because of where each of these processes occur. There is no nuclear fusion inside of Earth. There is probably a small amount of radioactive decay in the Sun, but the power produced by it is insignificant, compared to the huge amount of power produced by nuclear fusion.
Explain how radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and how nulear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
The Earth's core contains many radioactive elements within its core that emit warmth as they decay, keeping the core of the Earth hot and heating it from within. Meanwhile, the sun is a product of the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium and its rays warm the Earth's crust from outside.

Air from the outside is?
warmed, moistened and cleaned by the nose and mouth

Can Engines with catalytic converters can safely be run indoors once the engine has warmed up?
Only if the exhuast is vented outside.
What is the whole world warmed at?
The whole world is warmed by the sun.
Where is inhaled air moistened and warmed?
Inhaled air is warmed and moistened in the nasopharynx and oropharynx.
Do I check transmission oil level with engine idling or not on my Camry 2002?
Trans fluid is always checked with car level and idling while warmed up.
Why does the temp not change as water is warmed up?
If water is warmed up, then that means that its temperature does change.
What happens to liquid oxygen when it is warmed?
When warmed, liquid oxygen changes to a gas for delivery to the patient.
Germans warmed their huts by?
Germans warmed their huts by using the body heat of their farm animals.
