Does magnetism produce energy in the sun?
No, the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions
What do the nuclear reactions that take place in the sun produce?
Helium plus released energy (heat)
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
Is it true that chemical reactions produce the energy that the sun radiates out into space?
Yes this is true it is called nuclear fusion.
Where are nuclear reactions in the sun?
The nuclear reactions are all over the sun but between core and surface the central part observes more.
Do chemical reactions produce new atoms?
No, only nuclear reactions can.
Is an isotope formed in a nuclear reaction likely to be radioactive?
Not necessarily. The fusion reactions in the sun produce primarily helium-4 which is stable.
What produces energy in the Sun alpha reactions proton splitting nuclear reactions or yellow dwarfs?
The energy output of the Sun derives from nuclear fusion reactions. A yellow dwarf is not a process, it's a type of star, of which the Sun is one.
How many megawatts does our Sun produce?
The Sun's power (about 386 billion billion megaWatts) is produced by nuclear fusion reactions. Please see related link for full information.
Where the sun gets its energy?
nuclear reactions at its core
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and in a nuclear reactor?
the suns nuclear reactions happen at extreme temperatures we do it at lower temps
