What fuel is in young stars?
Young stars burn hydrogen (the lightest element), converting it into helium. Later they may convert helium into heavier elements.
Will the star ever run out of fuel?
Yes, all stars run on a limited suppliy of fuel - mainly hydrogen. Some stars burn it very quickly but reach high temperatures, while other lower mass stars burn their fuel more slowly, lasting for longer, but burn at cooler temperatures.
What element is necessary to burn a fuel?
hydrogen is an explosive gas and it also needs oxygen to burn
What element is used as the primary fuel source for stars?
hydrogen
What Star burns its fuel the fastest?
Heavier stars will usually burn faster than lighter stars.
Are main sequence stars older than red giants?
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
What element is the main fuel for red giant stars?
your mums gloop
Why do stars live so long?
Because they have huge amounts of fuel to burn out.
What size stars have longer lives?
larger stars have longer lives, because as stars burn they are slowly burning up fuel and begin to cave in on themselves. the larger, the more fuel, the more fuel, the longer lasting.
What element provides most of the fuel for stars of all sizes?
Hydrogen
Do different types of stars burn different fuel?
Yes, young stars burn Hydrogen and produce Helium. As they age, they often turn into red giants, and at that time they burn the Helium, making Oxygen and Carbon. Very large stars can even burn the Oxygen and Carbon, making even heaver elements, such as Iron.
What kind of fuel does a star have?
In nearly all stars, hydrogenis the most abundant element and it is consumed in a nuclear reaction that power stars.
