Are stars a reflector?
No, they are a source of light.
Is the stars a light source or a reflector?
Stars are considered to be a light source because they are self illuminated. Stars are self illuminated because of the nuclear fusion occurring inside of them.
What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
What is the source of energy for a star?
The energy source for stars, which produces vast amounts of heat and light, is the fusion of atomic nuclei in the star's core. In our own Sun, hydrogen is fused into helium; in older and heavier stars heavier elements may also undergo nuclear fusion.
What process depends on fusion?
The energy source of stars
Why is the light produced by stars not a significant source of light to us?
The sun is closer to us than other stars.
Could the light from the stars be another source for solar powered energy?
No. They're too far away.
Why are stars a light source?
It have its own light
Can light from stars be turned into energy?
Light from the stars is energy. However, the amount of energy that this light accounts for is too small to be of any use.
Is the stars a source of light energy?
on very very clear nights yes starts are almost the same size as the sun.
Are stars a reflector?
No, they are a source of light.
What is the light source of stars?
Nuclear Fusion at the Stars' Core.

What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
What are two sources of visible light waves?
A primary light source is one that actually produces light, such as a light bulb or the sun. A secondary light source in one that ONLY reflects the light produced by a primary light source. It doesn't produce light itself, such as a mirror or the moon.

The energy source for stars, which produces vast amounts of heat and light, is the fusion of atomic nuclei in the star's core. In our own Sun, hydrogen is fused into helium; in older and heavier stars heavier elements may also undergo nuclear fusion.
What is the constant outward release of tiny particles caused by stars energy production?
Stars are balls of gasses in plasma form. The high pressure and temperature in the core of the stars ignites a nuclear fusion reaction, that is the source of the light and energy emitted by them.
