Nuclear fusion is the process that produces energy in the stars, including our sun


What planet produces lots of energy?

The sun because it's hot and humans turn it into energy


Why are stars so important?

Stars play a variety of roles. First and foremost, the sun is a star. It provides the heat and light necessary for life of Earth. Stars also create most of the elements we find. Before stars started forming all matter in the universe consisted of hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium. All other elements have since been made in the thermonuclear furnaces of stars.


How stars get hot?

well, stars are balls of gas (hydrogen) which fuses into helium. is also how how the sun produces energy but stars can reach a temp. of 20,000 if purple if it is blue probley 10,000


What do you call an object that produces its own heat and light energy?

An object that produces its own heat and light energy is called a "self-luminous object." This term is often used to describe things like stars or artificial sources of light that generate their own energy.


Do Hotter stars age more slowly then cooler stars?

The surface temperature is not a reliable indicator about how long a star will last. However, the total energy output is. If a star produces a lot of energy, it will burn through its fuel faster.


Which process combines lighter elements into heavier elements and produces energy within the sun and other stars?

That is called "nuclear fusion".


What Nuclear reaction that produces energy in stars?

The primary nuclear reaction that produces energy in stars is nuclear fusion, specifically the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium. This process occurs in the core of stars, where extreme temperatures and pressures enable the overcoming of electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons. Fusion releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which counteracts gravitational collapse and maintains the star's stability. In more massive stars, fusion can progress to heavier elements through successive reactions.


What produces the Sun's energy?

Fusion produces the Sun's energy .


What is the energy that salt produces called?

Salt produces lattice energy


Why can't massive stars generate energy from iron fusion?

Massive stars cannot generate energy from iron fusion because iron fusion does not release energy, rather it absorbs energy. Iron is the most stable element, and fusion of iron requires more energy than it produces, making it an unfavorable process for generating energy in stars. This leads to the collapse of the star's core and triggers a supernova explosion.


What is the verb in the sentence Nuclear fusion produces heat for stars?

Produces is the verb.
