Where is the suns energy is generated at?
At the core where the fuel is burning
Does the layer of fire on the sun occur in the suns core?
There is no fire in the sun, that is a chemical process. The process in the core is thermonuclear fusion.
Why must the suns rate of fusion gradually rise over billions of years?
Fusion reactions decrease the overall number of particles in the core, causing the core to shrink, converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy, and increasing the rate of fusion.
Primary source of the suns energy is?
The primary source of the sun's energy is nuclear fusion. This process occurs in the sun's core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the Suns core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
For nuclear fusion.
What reaction produces the suns energy?
nuclear fusion reactions at the core of sun
Why doesnt the helium curently in the suns core under go fusion?
The Sun's core is not yet hot enough, or under enough pressure, for helium fusion. Which is probably just as well, since when helium fusion begins, the Sun will swell into a red giant which will incinerate the Earth.
Why doesnt the helium currently in the suns core undergo fusion?
The helium in the Sun's core does not undergo fusion because it primarily consists of helium-4, which is a product of hydrogen fusion. While temperatures and pressures in the core are extremely high, the conditions required for helium fusion—such as even higher temperatures (around 100 million Kelvin) and sufficient density—are not met until much of the hydrogen has been fused into helium. Helium fusion, known as the triple-alpha process, will occur later in the Sun’s life cycle, once it exhausts its hydrogen fuel.
What changes would cause the fusion rate in the Suns core to increase?
Increase in the core temperature and decrease in the core radius.
Why is energy produced in the suns core?
Energy is produced in the sun's core through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. The high temperatures and pressures in the core of the sun provide the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
