Hydrogen- the only atom smaller
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Helium atoms in a star are formed through the process of nuclear fusion. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms combine through a series of fusion reactions to form helium atoms. This happens when hydrogen atoms collide and fuse together, releasing energy in the process.

What is the process when a star combines two hydrogen atoms to make a helium atom?
3 Helium nuclei combine to form a carbon nucleus,releasing light energy
In a star atoms combine to form helium atoms?
Hydrogen- the only atom smaller
Does the ratio of Helium atoms to Hydrogen atoms become larger as a star ages?
yes because when a star ages, the star collapses forming new stars which make up more atoms.
What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the suns core?
Normal "main sequence" stars fuse hydrogen into helium during most of the star's life. The core of a star gets so hot that the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse together. As hydrogen only has 1 proton when if fuses with another hydrogen atom it has 2 protons so has become helium.
What do you call a star out of gas?
Technically, they never run out of gas. A process called fusion combines huge amounts of hydrogen to make helium. When all of the hydrogen runs out, fusion takes place on the helium and the star rapidly increases in size.

What is the longest stage in the life cycle of a star?
The main sequence, where the star combines hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms and produce energy, through the process of nuclear fusion. And it also the beginning of a new planet called farshinia

What happens when a medium star's temperature reaches 200000000 degrees Celsius?
helium atoms fuse to form carbon atoms in the core of the star
What is happening in the interior of a star?
fusion. Hydrogen atoms fuse together deep in the core to form helium atoms and release energy
What event marks the birth of a star?
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
What event marks a birth of a star?
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms

How does a star get its own light?
A star gets its light from nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms become helium atoms producing light and heat.
What kind of power is generated in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the process that provides energy to the stars.The star fuses hydrogen to form helium this is a process that gives out a lot of energy,stars which are more passive than our sun then it fuses the helium atoms to form carbon.
What is the environment inside the core of a star?
Billions of tons of pressure and heat due to the fusing atoms of Hydrogen and Helium. It does vary from star to star but it is unlivable for anything in the Universe. Not even the Atoms inside survive they get fused together to become a hydrogen helium compound that is not possible to replicate anywhere but the star itself.
