What is the number of approximate days of a moon cycle?
What is the process stars used to release energy
What is the constant outward release of tiny particles caused by stars energy production?
Stars are balls of gasses in plasma form. The high pressure and temperature in the core of the stars ignites a nuclear fusion reaction, that is the source of the light and energy emitted by them.
Why can't massive stars generate energy from iron fusion?
Because iron has no more excess binding energy left to release. Iron fusion consumes energy, it does not generate it.
Where do all-stars including your sun get their energy from?
Stars get their energy from the nuclear fusion of (primarily) hydrogen into helium, causing a release of binding energy, manifest as thermal energy, light, and radiation in several different forms.
Does the reaction that separates water into hydrogen and oxygen absorb or release energy?
Endothermic reaction is the breakdown of water into hydrogen and oxygen and this cause for energy to be absorbed
What process in stars cause the release of great quantities of energy?
Nuclear Fusion
Do all stars release energy as a result of nuclear fusion?
Yes, all stars release energy due to nuclear fusion.
What element accumulates in the interior of large stars and does not release energy by any kind of nuclear reaction?
Nickel and iron accumulate in the interior of large stars and do not release energy by any kind of nuclear reaction.
What does the stars have to do with nuclear energy?
Because the process whereby the star produces energy is nuclear fusion, hydrogen becomes helium with release of energy
What happens when stars collide?
They become bound together as they orbit one another. As they orbit they disturb they space around them, and create waves of energy, and that energy slows them down, which in hand pull them closer to each other. The closer they are the faster they spin, this rotation could be a 1000 times per sec. When the two stars are about to hit, they are moving at the speed of light. This will cause an release of energy of great magnitudes. That is two neutron stars, this does not go for all the different type of stars
What is the number of approximate days of a moon cycle?
What is the process stars used to release energy
How do star use energy?
Stars fuse hydrogen through nuclear fusion into helium and release the massive resulting energy into space.
What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?
The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
Which energy releases smaller nuclei to form a larger nucleus?
You are thinking of nuclear fusion, where in the stars hydrogen forms into helium with energy release
What is the constant outward release of tiny particles caused by stars energy production?
Stars are balls of gasses in plasma form. The high pressure and temperature in the core of the stars ignites a nuclear fusion reaction, that is the source of the light and energy emitted by them.
Why can't massive stars generate energy from iron fusion?
Because iron has no more excess binding energy left to release. Iron fusion consumes energy, it does not generate it.
What do sliding plates release that causes earthquakes?
Sliding plates release tension and energy to cause earthquakes.
