Do stars give off light as a part of a nuclear fusion reaction in which helium atoms are split into hydrogen atoms?
No. In a fusion reaction, a heavier element is made of a lighter pair by "gluing" them together in a fusion reaction. When we split an atom, that's called atom splitting, or sometimes fission, not fusion. They are opposites. Stars give off light, but the primary fuel in their fusion engines is hydrogen, which they convert into helium. As the hydrogen burns out, the star begins making helium into carbon.
Who stars in Indiana Jones?
Harrison Ford has always starred as Indiana Jones, but the rest of the cast changes with each film.
Which gas makes stars burn for kids?
Hydrogen is the primary fuel that stars burn. A star fuses two hydrogen atoms together to form one helium atom. Energy is released during the process that we see as light and feel as heat.
Which movie is where woman changes identity and moves in order to stay away from evil husband?
"Sleeping with the Enemy" (1991). Stars Julia Roberts, Patrick Bergin.
Is the Milky Way in the same place in relation to the constellation Osiris?
The stars that make up the Constellations (Osiris which we call Orion now is no exception) are all within the Milky Way galaxy. The relative positions of stars changes over great time scales but since the Egyptians named Osiris to our day the changes have been barely noticeable. That goes for the position of the Milky Way in the sky too.
What is the primary fuel of main sequence stars?
The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen
What is produced when hydrogen atoms fuse?
A large amount of energy. This naturally occurring reaction happens inside all stars and is called fusion.
Where were helium and and hydrogen formed?
Hydrogen was initially formed in the 'Big Bang' which initiated this universe. Helium is formed by the fusion of hydrogen atoms, inside stars. This reaction is what causes stars to shine, and give off heat.
What two gas are stars made of?
Stars are primarily made of Hydrogen gas (or Hydrogen plasma).The primary reaction in stars to produce energy is called Fusion where two Hydrogen molecules combine to produce one Helium molecule.Thus, a second common element in stars would be Helium (also usually found in plasma form).
Why is Sirius known as the Dog Star?
Not just Sirius - all stars do this. This is due to changes in density in our atmosphere.Not just Sirius - all stars do this.

What is the reaction that happens in a stars core is?
nuclear fusion
What is the primary composition of a sea stars endoskeleton?
Bananas!
What are island changes?
You use the stars to navigate
Is the proton proton reaction an example of a fission reaction?
No, this is the fusion reaction which occurs in the sun and other stars. See the link below.
Where do you go to look at the stars?
