What is different between a star and a planet?
A Star converts hydrogen into energy by nuclear fusion. A planet does not
Why all-stars have light?
Stars undergo nuclear fusion in their cores, and so generate energy; i.e., light and heat. No nuclear fusion, no energy generation, ergo not a star at all. Generating light and heat is how we can tell a very large planet from a star. If it isn't generating energy from nuclear fusion, then it isn't a star.
What type of nuclear energy is more important for life on earth?
The nuclear energy that is most important for life on Earth is the nuclear fusion that powers the sun. This energy is essential for providing heat and light, which support life on our planet. Nuclear fission, used in nuclear power plants, also plays a role in providing electricity for human activities.
Why can't a planet be a star?
A planet does not have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion.
What causes a planet to become a star?
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
Why is planet Saturn a planet and not a star?
Saturn was not massive enough to initiate nuclear fusion.
What gas giant has nuclear fusion on it?
None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)
How does nuclear fusion warm up the earth from the outside?
It affects earth because the high temperature of the sun causes radiation (visible light, infra-red, and ultra-violet rays) to be emitted and we receive some of this. The fusion reaction itself does not directly affect earth.
Which type of nuclear reaction is more important for life on earth?
1.The sun is a huge ball of nuclear fusion. 2.We here on earth use nuclear fission to produce electricity. so the answer is 2.
Is the trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called nuclear fusion true or false?
False. It is called the greenhouse effect.
Why is the sun not a planet?
The sun is not considered a planet because it is a star, not a celestial body that orbits a star like a planet does. Stars generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets do not generate energy through fusion.
