Is oxygen the fusion in the interior of the sun?

No, it is hydrogen that is the fuel for fusion in the sun


Why are outer planets made mostly of gas?

mainly because they are not shown by the sun.The sun gives heat,oxygen,and more.


Is the sun made of heat?

The sun PRODUCES heat instead of making heat.


Why can you say that energy from fossil fuel burning energy comes from the sun?

Because the energy comes from free carbon and oxygen that produce heat when they are recombined to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). The fossil fuel contains hydrocarbons that can be burned to produce CO2, water and heat. The fossil fuel material was formed millions of years ago by photosynthesis, when plants took in CO2 and separated the carbon from the oxygen, using the Sun's rays. The carbon was used in the production of tissues for the planets, and the oxygen was released into the atmosphere. So the energy that comes from burning fossil fuels came originally from the Sun by photosynthesis.


Is the sun a huge fire ball?

No, the sun is not a fireball in the traditional sense. It is a star made up mostly of hydrogen and helium undergoing nuclear fusion, producing heat and light. This process differs from a fire, which requires oxygen and combustion.


The sun is made mostly of carbon and oxygen?

Actually, the sun is mostly composed of hydrogen (about 74%) and helium (about 24%). Carbon and oxygen make up only a very small fraction of the sun's composition. The high temperatures and pressures in the sun's core cause hydrogen atoms to fuse together, creating helium and releasing energy in the form of light and heat.


What energy is gas on stove?

The energy comes from the gas which is usually a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel produces heat energy when it burns with oxygen in the air. The burning process releases chemical potential energy in the carbon. Carbon dioxide is produced and the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds in the carbon dioxide release heat when they are formed. Most of the carbon in the gas was originally taken from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the action of plants. With the Sun's heat the plants separated out the carbon and oxygen, which resulted in stored energy, and that is the energy that runs the gas stove.


What are the two main gases that the sun is made of?

The Sun is primarily made up of hydrogen (about 74% by mass) and helium (about 24% by mass), with trace amounts of other elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron. These gases undergo nuclear fusion in the Sun's core, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.


Does sun do combustion?

No, the sun does not undergo combustion. Combustion is a chemical reaction that typically involves oxygen and a fuel source, leading to the release of heat and light. The sun generates energy through nuclear fusion, the process in which hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.


What is is the sun made out of?

hydrogen fusing to make helium The sun is made completely of a mixture of 75% hydrogen 25% helium. 74% hydrogen, 24% helium, iron, nickel, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, magnesium, carbon, neon, calcium, chromium, and 1% oxygen.


How far towards the sun can a space ship go without burning up?

They won't burn up but they will first roast the people inside then melt the space ship and then boil it. Fire needs three things to exist(Heat, Fuel, Oxygen.) In space there is no oxygen. That's why it can burn.


Does the sun have oxygen?

Yes, but just a very tiny amount. Hydrogen and Helium make up 98% of the Sun, and Oxygen is less than 1%.
