Stars are mostly hydrogen, the simplest element in the universe - also, the most common element in the universe.
All the elements heavier than hydrogen were formed by nuclear fusion, where the atoms fuse together at very high temperatures and pressures. So carbon, oxygen, iron and everything else is like the "ash" from the nuclear "fire" in stars that once burned in other skies and then were destroyed in nova and supernova explosions.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible to create nuclear fusion in a particle accelerator?
Yes, it is possible (beam target fusion).
What are the people that study fission fusion of atoms?
Particle physicists or nuclear physicists.
What is the energy source for all main sequence?
Nuclear fusion starting with hydrogen.
This type of nucleus is formed during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four nuclei.?
A helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle, is formed during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four hydrogen nuclei.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
What are the different types of nuclear weapons?
There are no different " Types " of weapons. It is what occurs inside of the bomb. nuclear fusion is when 2 nuclear particles join. Nuclear fission is when 2 nuclear particles split. Particle fusion is when 2 helium particles join. Say each particle weighs 1 gram. If 2 collided, then you would think that the mass would be 2. Well, there is a release of energy which is equivalent to a nuclear bomb going off. This occurs millions of times in the sun.
What are the different types of nuclear fusion?
There are two main types of nuclear fusion: inertial confinement fusion, which involves compressing a target using intense lasers or particle beams to ignite fusion reactions, and magnetic confinement fusion, which uses magnetic fields to confine and control the fusion plasma. Both approaches aim to replicate the energy-producing process of the sun on Earth.
What is the energy source for all main-sequence star?
Nuclear fusion starting with hydrogen.
What type of nucleus is during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four nuclei?
During a solar nuclear reaction, the type of nucleus formed by the fusion of four nuclei is a helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is responsible for the energy production in the core of the Sun.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What particle of the atom is responsible for the nuclear reaction?
Protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons, are the particles responsible for nuclear reactions in the atom. The strong nuclear force binds these particles together in the nucleus, leading to nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion.
