What nuclear reaction combines gas to form helium and produce most of the suns energy?
nuclear fusion
What nuclear reaction is the energy source of a white dwarf?
some type of exploding gas!
How does the nuclear power plant produce energy?
Similar to other thermal powerplants like coal, oil and gas, nuclear reaction creates heat which is used to turn water into steam. This turns the turbines attached to the generators which produce electricity.
What are four nonrenewable sources of energy?
The four most common non-renewable resources are gas, oil, coal and copper.
What is the difference between nuclear and steam and hydroelectric power plants?
These are things that are not comparable. Nuclear power refers to the fuel, just as natural gas, coal, or oil would. Steam refers to how the fuel is used, and the fuel might be natural gas, coal, oil, or nuclear; an alternative to steam would be to use natural gas or oil to power a turbine directly.
Gas created by the suns nuclear reaction?
Helium
What nuclear reaction combines gas to form helium and produce most of the suns energy?
nuclear fusion
What gas is created by the sun's nuclear reaction?
Mostly Helium
What is the role of hydrogen gas in the sun?
The hydrogen in the Sun is fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
What nuclear reaction is the energy source of a white dwarf?
some type of exploding gas!
What type of gas combines to form helium?
hydrogen combine to form helium by nuclear fusion reaction
Why is Jupiter considered a miniature planet?
Jupiter is not considered a miniature planet. It is a gas giant planet. It is like a miniature sun, however, in that it seems to have most of the ingredients to become a sun. What it doesn't have is enough mass to create enough pressure from gravity, to start a nuclear reaction -- which is what suns (stars) do.
Is the sun gas or liquid or solid?
the suns a gas
Does the suns energy come from burning fuels like oils?
No, the sun's energy is a byproduct of nuclear fusion, primarily hydrogen gas "burned" into helium. There are no significant quantities of complex organic hydrocarbons in our sun. While there is oxygen, the hydrogen/oxygen or carbon/oxygen chemical reaction is not what results in solar energy.
Is hydrogen ever created in nature by nuclear fission?
Yes In high temperature gas cooled nuclear fission reactors using the nuclear process heat.
What gas is part of the suns compositions?
Hydrogen
What is a reaction that produces gas called?
A reaction that produces gas is called a gas-evolving reaction or a gas-forming reaction.
