Are The absorption lines for a cool thin gas identical in color and energy to the emission lines of the same gas if hot enough to glow?

Yes.


How did gases create the Sun?

Gravity! Get ENOUGH gas, as light and tenuous as it is, and its own self-gravity will cause the gas to collapse in the center. if there's enough mass, it will get more and more dense, and eventually get hot enough to begin nuclear fusion.


What is a very hot gas called?

a very hot gas or steam (for water) or plasma maybe, but then that is not quite a gas, but a separate state.


Liquid to gas hot or cold?

hot


Why are there different types volcanoes?

there are different types of volcanoes for different reasons. how they form has alot to do with the type of lava said volcano produces. fluid basaltic lava tends to create shield volcanoes. spatter cones tend to form when hot erupting lava contains just enough explosive gas to prevent the formation of a lava flow, but not enough to shatter it into small fragments. hot expanding gas tears the lava into hot fluid clots.

Can you say that thermal plasma is hot plasma and non-thermal plasma is cold plasma?

A plasma consists of an gas in which some gas atoms/molecules are ionised. If it is is in thermal equilibrium then in order to maintain the needed level of ionisation will require that the gas is very hot. Of the order of 4-5,000 degrees Celsius. In a non-thermal plasma the electrons are hot enough to ionise the gas but the gas is at a different temperature. This can be achieved by heating the electrons by using a microwave or radio frequency field. As the electrons are light they do not exchange energy with the gas very efficiently. So in a non-thermal plasma the gas can be cold.


How tight should gay denim fit?

Tight enough to look hot, loose enough to wear for 4 hours of dancing.


Why would exetreme heat knock electrons off atoms?

Heat is a form of energy that can be absorbed by electrons, which use the extra energy to move into higher energy orbits. If they absorb enough energy, they can escape the nucleus completely. A hot gas whose electrons have been stripped off is referred to as "plasma," and a great example is a simple flame.


Can you gas weld with propylene gas?

Yes, but it will take years for the base metal to get hot enough for any fusion welding.


How does a gas cloud become hot enough to ignite nuclear reactions?

Gravitational pressure.A large mass of gas has a lot of internal gravity, and as it falls together, it gets compressed and heats up. At some point, the gas gets so hot that all the electrons are stripped away from the atomic nuclei, and the gas becomes unimaginably dense and hot - and eventually it gets hot enough that the hydrogen nuclei begin to fuse into helium, generating even more heat and pressure. At that point, the gas cannot be compressed any further, because the energy generated in fusion is pushing the nuclei apart, and the star reaches an equilibrium between the gravitational pressure inward and the radiation pressure outward.


At what temperature does a liquid turn to gas?

If any liquid gets hot enough, it will turn into gas. The point that it turns into gas varies for each substance.


What can be all solid liquid and a gas except water?

pretty much everything has a melting point where it turns into a liquid, and if it gets hot enough it evaporates and becomes a gas. it depends on the amount of heat it takes to melt the substance. some things can become a gas but they are not seen as gases because it's never hot enough to be turned into a gas.

Is the Sun formed from a huge cloud of gas?

Yes, except the sun is so hot that most of the atoms of the gases have lost some or all of their electrons, making it called a plasma not a gas.


When does water turn to a gas?

When water is heated up, it's particles gain energy. When they gain enough energy (when the water is hot enough), they break free of one another and escape as steam(a gas).


What causes plasma to form?

Plasma forms when a gas becomes extremely hot. When this happens, the gas' atoms gain lots of energy. This energy causes the electrons to detach from the nuclei of the gas' atoms. When the negatively charged electrons detach, the positively charged protons and neutral particles called neutrons in the nuclei are left.
