What are the 3 main fuels stars us for fusion?
hydrogen, helium and carbon
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
A star generates energy by?
Nuclear fusion. Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.Nuclear fusion. Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.Nuclear fusion. Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.Nuclear fusion. Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
How does the main-sequence lifetime of a star compare to its entire fusion lifetime?
Stars spend about 90% of their fusion lifetimes on the main sequence.
What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.

Can planets generate nuclear fusion?
No. That's precisely the main difference between planets and stars - that stars can have nuclear fusion, planets not.
How does the main-sequence lifetime of a star compare to its entire fusion lifetime?
Stars spend about 90% of their fusion lifetimes on the main sequence.
Are stars in the main sequence when nuclear fusion of any element is taking place?
No. Stars are only in the main sequence when they are fusing hydrogen.
How do stars function?
The main process is nuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium.
What is inside of the star?
In main sequence stars, it is thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
What types of stars are in the main sequence?
The thing the "main sequence" stars have in common is that they get their energy from the fusion of hydrogen (hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4).
What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
Compare the elements formed in the big bang with elements formed through nuclear fusion in stars?
No elements were formed in the big bang. After quite some time, hydrogen began to form, and it is the main constituent of stars. The main by-product of nuclear fusion in stars is helium.
During which stage do stars produce energy from the fusion of hydrogen into helium?
Main Sequence
