On the lighter side, the name or identity is "fictional" or "imaginary"; helium can not burn! In the Sun, helium can be formed by nuclear fusion of hydrogen, and this process produces much heat and light, but can not properly be called burning in a chemical sense; that requires chemical combination with oxygen.

Is helium found in the body?

Traces of helium might be found in the body under some circumstances, but as helium is an inert gas, it isn't found in any compounds in the body. Helium certainly isn't necessary for life. The presence of helium in the body may only occur when we breathe some helium and it is taken up in the blood and diffuses into tissues. Even then, the helium exists as single atoms of this noble gas, and it will diffuse out of the body given a chance to do so.


Is helium in your body?

Yes, helium can be found in trace amounts in the human body, primarily in the lungs and bloodstream. However, the concentration of helium in the body is very low and is not considered harmful to health.


When burning helium what color is it?

When helium is burned, it produces a faint blue color. This is due to the electronic transitions that occur in the helium atoms during the combustion process.


Why does your body need helium?

Your body does not need helium. Helium is an inert gas, and it is not found as a "building block" of any organic material, or any other materials for that matter.


Why will a helium flash never occur in some stars?

A helium flash occurs in low-mass stars during the helium burning phase. High-mass stars do not experience a helium flash because they have a higher core temperature and pressure, so helium burning begins smoothly without the need for a sudden ignition event. Additionally, high-mass stars have higher energy production rates, which prevent the conditions required for a helium flash from occurring.
