The sun's energy is generated through nuclear fusion.
Around 10% of the world's energy is generated from nuclear power.
Nuclear energy is generated through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
Through the conversion of mass to energy.
Nuclear energy can last for millions of years, as it is generated by the process of nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. The duration of nuclear energy depends on the amount of available nuclear fuel and the efficiency of the reactor.
The energy generated by nuclear power plants comes from the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
In nuclear fusion, a small amount of heat is generated due to the high temperatures required to fuse atomic nuclei together. This heat can be harnessed to produce electricity through various methods, such as heating water to create steam to drive a turbine. However, the amount of energy produced by fusion reactions is significantly greater than the heat generated.
The energy in a star is generated by nuclear fusion.
Energy made from split atoms refers to nuclear energy, which is generated through a process called nuclear fission. During nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat can then be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.
Energy in a star's core is generated through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium releasing a massive amount of energy in the process. The extreme temperature and pressure in the core of a star make this fusion process possible, sustaining the star's energy output.
