Best Answer

The CNO cycle (carbon nitrogen oxygen) alternately called Bethe-Weizsäcker-cycle, is one of two types of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium, the other is the proton proton chain.

How does the CNO cycle differ from the proton-proton chain?

The CNO cycle, which stands for carbon-nitrogen, is one of the processes b which stars convert hydrogen to helium. This is the dominant source of energy for stars with larger mass.


Which stars produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle?

Stars that produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle are predominantly those with a mass about 1.3 times the mass of our Sun or greater.Our Sun, and stars comparable in mass or less, predominantly use the proton-proton cycle.


How does the extreme temperature sensitivity of the cno cycle affect the structure of stars?

It affects the internal structure of main-sequence stars because they have very high central temperatures for the extreme temperature sensitivity of the CNO cycle to fuse hydrogen into helium.


Stars with a core temperature in excess of 20 million K probably have what fusion type?

The CNO Cycle.

Is the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium operating in the cores of low-mass stars on the main sequence?

I can't remember if it is the proton-proton chain or if it's the CNO cycle... i'm pretty sure it's the CNO cycle, but i'm not 100% sure.

Atoms that power the sun and other stars?

The most important fusion process in nature is that which powers the stars. The net result is the fusion of four protons into one alpha particle, with the release of two positrons, two neutrinos (which changes two of the protons into neutrons), and energy, but several individual reactions are involved, depending on the mass of the star. For stars the size of the sun or smaller, the proton-proton chain dominates. In heavier stars, the CNO cycle is more important. Look up CNO cycle in Wikipedia
