The sun's energy is most likely the result of?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.
How is the sun an example of nuclear energy?
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion (not fission) at the core of the sun.
How long can nuclear fires burn?
Nuclear fuel can continue to react for hundreds of thousands of years. The sun, for one has been going on for billions of years. About 2 billion years ago, a natual nuclear fissile reaction began that continued for about 200,000 years.
What part of the nuclear reactor is the fuel located in?
The nuclear fuel is found in the fuel rods. These fuel rods are formed into fuel bundles called fuel assemblies, and together they make up the reactor core.
What is a used fuel in nuclear power plants?
The used fuel in a nuclear power plant is the nuclear fuel being discharged from the nuclear reactor after being irradiated during reactor operation. It is usually composed of trans-uranium heavy elements, a wide variety of fission products (that resulted from the nuclear fission processes in the nuclear reactor) and products of radioactive decay (produced before and after fuel discharge from the nuclear reactor).
Does combustion fuel the sun?
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
What is the nuclear fual in the sun?
The nuclear fuel of the sun is hydrogen. The Sun binds the hydrogen atoms into helium, which creates energy in the process.
What is the role of hydrogen gas in the sun?
The hydrogen in the Sun is fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
How much longer before the sun exhausts its nuclear fuel?
5 billion years
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
Why does the sun go on shining?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear reactions; it has enough fuel to continue shining for a few billion years more.
What is prime fuel for the sun energy?
Hydrogen-1, which is converted, through nuclear fusion, to helium-4.
Is the sun a fossil fuel?
no It uses nuclear energy to make heat and light (2 other forms of energy).
What makes electrity work?
water, solar sun, gas, coal, fossil fuel, oil, nuclear[baned]
The sun and the fuel it contains?
The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.
How does the sun use up its fuel?
All stars- including our sun- are an ongoing nuclear fusion reaction- hydrogen is fused into helium. The hydrogen is consumed in that reaction.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
