What is the product of nuclear fusion in the sun?
In the core of the Sun (and other stars) protons (hydrogen nuclei) combine to produce Helium nuclei (alpha particles). In the process, positrons, neutrinos and gamma rays are produced. There are several nuclear reactions that form the steps that go from protons to helium nuclei and the steps impart significant kinetic energy to the products of the reactions. The products of hydrogen fusion are helium, neutrinos, electromagnetic radiation and heat energy.
Suns energy is most likely the result of the?
The Sun's energy comes from the energy released from the fusion of two hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus.
What nuclear process creates the sun's energy?
It is a continuous nuclear fusion process between the hydrogen nuclei producing helium and energy.
What is the source of the sun energy?
The sun shines because some of the nuclear energy is transformed into radiant energy. Enormous compression due to gravity and extremely high temperatures in the deep interior of the Sun fuse the nuclei of hydrogen atoms together to form helium nuclei. This is called thermonuclear fusion (a process that releases radiant energy, a small part of which reaches Earth).
Does the sun produce its own light?
Yes.... The sun is a star, so it produces its own light by nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
How does the sun create energy and where does it happen?
By nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, in the core.
What is the process of fusion on the sun?
This is the process where the nuclei of hydrogen, ie protons, fuse to produce helium nuclei and release energy. This is best understood from a diagram given as the link below
What is the sun's energy reaction?
It is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) to form helium
Does the sun produce hydrogen?
No. It uses hydrogen during nuclear fusion to produce helium.
What does nuclear fusion create inside of stars?
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion creates helium nuclei from...a. oxygen nuclei. b. beryllium nuclei.c. carbon nuclei.d. hydrogen nuclei.The answer is d. hydrogen nuclei.
Name of the source of the sun's energy?
nothing The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
Which is the source of energy of sun?
Nuclear fusion of hyrogen nuclei (protons) to produce helium
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.
What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?
The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
How does hydrogen affect people?
The sun (mostly hydrogen) is basically a nuclear fusion reactor, releasing energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into higher elements (which is where the higher elements actually come from). In fact it is a fusion bomb held together by stupendous gravity. No hydrogen, no sun, no people.
Is the sun made out of hydrogen and helium?
It definitely runs on hydrogen, and its made of helium, as well. --- Yes, it is mainly made of hydrogen which it uses as a fuel. It fuses hydrogen nuclei together to form helium, producing huge amounts of energy through this nuclear fusion reaction. Helium is produced by this reaction. The most important fusion reaction is stars the size of our Sun, is the so called 'Proton - proton' reaction, which in summary, combines 4 nuclei of Hydrogen to produce one nucleus of Helium, plus two nuclei of Hydrogen, and positrons and gamma rays. Gamma rays get transformed inside the sun into less harmful electromagnetic radiations. There are other fusion reaction inside stars, which combine lighter atom nuclei into heavier nuclei, going up to producing carbon C and iron Fe nuclei.
