What else can I help you with?
Nuclear fission where is it found?
stars.... stars are made of hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion
Can fision occur in a star?
Not typically. When a star burns it starts with fusion of Hydrogen. Later heavier atoms are formed, also by fusion. It is believed that the very heavy atoms, that release energy when split (fission) are only formed by very massive stars . These atoms are also formed by fusion. When one of these very massive stars explodes (super nova) it spews out its atoms and during this process its possible some fission will occur, but for the most part star evolution is a fusion story.
What causes heat and light in stars?
The heat and the light in stars is the same thermal nuclear fission that our Sun (a star) produces.
Where does solar fusion form on the sun?
Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Fusion is the main energy source for stars. It is the process by which stars convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear reactions, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Fission, on the other hand, involves the splitting of atomic nuclei and is not the primary energy source for stars.
What does nuclear fission have to do with the stars being born?
The answer is portons and neutrons nonetheless join up together and make a bang then they are formed into galaxies and stars.
Does lithium form from nuclear fission?
No, lithium does not form from nuclear fission. Lithium is created in stars through nuclear fusion processes. In nuclear fission, heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.
What happens to the stars in relation to one another if you look at the same region of the sky for several nights?
The positions of the stars in relation to one another, on a scale of several human lifetimes, doesn't change.
Why cannot we see stars during day time?
Because the sun is far to bright in relation to the light from the stars.
What kind of reaction does oxygen undergo fusion or fission?
Oxygen undergoes fusion reactions in the cores of massive stars, where it can fuse into heavier elements. Oxygen does not undergo fission reactions naturally.
How is a binary used?
Binary what? Binary numbers? Binary stars? Binary fission?
What are ideal places for fission and fusion?
Fission takes place in nuclear reactors, which are useful to produce electricity. Fusion has not yet been harnessed on earth, so the only place it happens is in stars
