Is the ratio of the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increasing or decreasing?
Since hydrogen atoms in the sun are fused into helium atoms, the amount of helium is increasing and the amount of hydrogen is decreasing.
What gas is the sun burning?
The SUN does NOT BURN gas. It is a FUSION of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
What the core of the Sun made out of?
The sun consists of hydrogen and helium atoms. The hydrogen atoms combine in a process called nuclear fusion, releasing energy and creating helium atoms.
What event marks the birth of a star?
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
Do hydrogen and helium make up about 50 percent of the atoms in outer space?
While less than 5% of the universe is made up of atoms, hydrogen and helium make up 98% of the atoms in the universe.
What combines to form helium atoms in a star?
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 atoms do the sun produce by fusing hydrogen atoms?
The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This is a nuclear fusion that occurs at the sun's core.
The sun fuses hydrogen atoms into what?
Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.
Is the ratio of the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increasing or decreasing?
Since hydrogen atoms in the sun are fused into helium atoms, the amount of helium is increasing and the amount of hydrogen is decreasing.
How many hydrogen atoms that fuse to form a helium is?
two hydrogen atoms
Do Hydrogen and helium atoms make up fifty percent of atoms in outer space?
Hydrogen and helium make about 98% of the atoms in the solar system !
In stars energy is produced as primarily hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
helium atoms
What gas is the sun burning?
The SUN does NOT BURN gas. It is a FUSION of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
What happens to the missing mass when hydrogen atoms fuse to make helium atoms?
It is in the energy that is radiated away.
What happens to hydrogen at very high temperatures?
They are fused into helium and create energy. But it takes 4 hydrogen atoms to make 1 atom of helium. The Hydrogen is first converted to Deuterium (heavy hydrogen), and the two deuterium atoms fuse to make the Helium atom. This process releases a lot of energy, not the least because of the neutrons released. Lol
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
Which has the least number of atoms 5g of hydrogen or 10g of helium?
helium
