Nuclear fusion, the same reaction that takes place in nuclear warheads, only in conventional warheads it's caused by powerful conventional explosives directed inward to cause heavy elements to fuse together, and in the cores of suns (stars) it is caused by the much more powerful force of the star's gravity.
What else can I help you with?
What is the primary fuel of main sequence stars?
The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen
What size stars have longer lives?
larger stars have longer lives, because as stars burn they are slowly burning up fuel and begin to cave in on themselves. the larger, the more fuel, the more fuel, the longer lasting.
What is the main fuel for nuclear reactions in stars?
The main fuel for nuclear reactions in stars is hydrogen. Through a process called nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process powers the stars and allows them to shine brightly.
Stars primaily burn what element as fuel?
Hydrogen.
How do binary stars differ form the supernovas and novas?
binary stars are two stars that orbit each other while supernovas and novas stars are stars that explode when it runs out of fuel
What Star burns its fuel the fastest?
Heavier stars will usually burn faster than lighter stars.
Why do bigger stars die more quickly?
Bigger stars get hotter, and use up their fuel much faster than smaller stars.
How do the blue stars differ from the red stars?
Blue stars are the hottest and brightest, but have a shorter life span and they convert all their fuel rapidly. Red stars are cooler and tend to use their fuel more slowly, give off less light, heat and other radiations.
Which color use up their fuel supply in the shortst period of time stars?
main sequence stars of which colr use up their fuel supply in the shortest period of time? and why.
Why do blue white stars not last as long as red stars?
Blue white stars are more massive and burn through their fuel supply at a faster rate compared to red stars. Their high energy output causes them to exhaust their fuel more quickly, leading to shorter lifespans. In contrast, red stars have lower mass and hence a longer lifespan as they burn fuel at a slower rate.
What element is used as the primary fuel source for stars?
hydrogen
Are stars with the most hydrogen for nuclear fuel have the longest lives?
No, stars with the most hydrogen have the shortest lives. The more massive a star is, the faster it burns its fuel, and the sooner the core is depleted.
