Does the suns energy come from burning fuels like oils?
No, the sun's energy is a byproduct of nuclear fusion, primarily hydrogen gas "burned" into helium. There are no significant quantities of complex organic hydrocarbons in our sun. While there is oxygen, the hydrogen/oxygen or carbon/oxygen chemical reaction is not what results in solar energy.
Is the sun a giant ball of burning coal?
Answer: No it is a ball of hot gases Answer: No. The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion; NOT from a chemical reaction such as burning coal. The main elements in the Sun are - in that order - hydrogen and helium (more precisely, the isotopes hydrogen-1 and helium-4). There are trace amounts of carbon in the Sun, but that's not what keeps it hot.
What process powers and fuels our sun?
Cats
What is scorching sun?
Like a "burning sun?"
What type of reaction happening in sun when it emits heat and light?
The most common sun reaction that happens in the sun is the hydrogen fusion. Other fusions like complex fusions among nuclei of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms also produce energy in the sun.
Which reaction fuels burning of the sun?
Nuclear fusion - mainly, converting hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels?
Burning of fossil fuels is an oxidation reaction.
What are the effects of oxidation reaction daily life?
Fuels burning is an oxidation reaction.
What chemical equation for the burning of fossil fuels Apex?
The general equation for burning/combusting fossil fuels is:- fossil fuel + oxygen(air) = Carbon dioxide and Water.
What chemical reaction fuels the sun?
Fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that fuels your solar system.
Which reaction is more commonly used?
Probable burning of fuels is the most common reaction used.
Why can you say that the energy obtained by burning fossil fuels originated by the sun?
your not cool.
If the sun was truly burning how long will it last for?
The sun is not actually burning as in a fire on earth, Burning is a chemical reaction that releases heat. The sun is a nuclear reaction. However most scientists estimate that the sun will continue to react brightly for another five billion years or so.
Where does the sun produce heat?
From the nuclear reaction of burning hydrogen!
Why is a spark of energy needed to begin the chemical reaction of burning fossil fuels?
You need to get the reaction above its activation energy before it will start.
When fossil fuels burn what are the reactants?
The burning of fossil fuels are a combustion reaction. The reaction for the combustion has the reactants of propane (C3H8) and oxygen (O2). The combustion reactions products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
When burning fuel what are the reactants?
