Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
Is there an artificial sun?
Not yet, but people are trying to build a fusion reactor.
How is the sun still on fire when it's cold in outer space?
To start off, space is not necessarily cold. Conditions in space can be very hot near a hot object such as the sun. Second, the sun is not truly a fire, but a giant, natural thermonuclear reactor. The heat generate by the fusion of hydrogen into helium drives more fusion, which in turn generates more heat, so the sun sustains itself in this manner.
What sustains the sun?
Essentially the sun is a thermoNuclear furnace, a fusion reactor which is turning Hydrogen into Helium. The cycle begins when two protons collide to form a deuteron whilst also releasing a neutrino and a positron.
What are the technical problems related to nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and immense pressures to start and continue. The problems with a nuclear fusion reactor would be:- 1) the high temperatures would melt the container: therefore, the reaction would have to be stored in a vacuum suspended by a magnetic field and the reactor would have to be continually cooled. 2) nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars such as our sun: unless the fusion reaction was limited in size in some way, it would be likely that our planet is vapourised by the reaction.
Sun energy is produces by fusion of atom?
Sun energy is produced by the fusion of two hydrogen atoms under immense pressure and heat in the core of the sun. The chemical energy (energy stored in the bonds of atoms) is released during this fusion.
How is the sun related to energy?
The Sun is a huge fusion reactor turning hydrogen into helium, this produces energy in the form of heat and light
Where does the sun appear on earth?
The sun is in outer space above the earth. The earth rotates around the sun. It is not on the earth. It is millions of miles from the earth. The sun is a giant nuclear fusion reactor and will burn up the earth in seconds, if the earth were nearer to the sun than the planet mercury.
What type of power does nuclear fission have?
Fusion power is the power generated by the nuclear fusion processes. Fusion power is a primary area of researc in plasma physics. For example, the sun is a natural fusion reactor.
Which of the following is the main energy source for our sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of the sun's energy.
What kind of energy does the sun take in?
The sun can be described as a nuclear fusion reactor - converting hydrogen into helium under intense heat and pressure.
