What is a medium size yellow star composed mostly of hydrogen and helium?
All stars are composed mostly of hydrogen. The star fuses hydrogen into helium. The helium cannot escape the start until the end of the star's life cycle. Thus a middle-aged, medium sized star will be comprised of hydrogen and helium. As the star ages, it may start to fuse helium at its core into carbon. At this point it will likely expand into a red giant star, and thus would no longer be yellow.
How Hot can stars get?
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
Why do all stars have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen and helium are, by far, the most abundant substances in the universe.
Which Planet constantly turning hydrogen into helium?
None of them. Stars turn hydrogen into helium through thermonuclear fusion.
Gas giants have atmospheres composed primarily of helium and what?
Hydrogen and helium, the most common elements in the Universe.Hydrogen and helium, the most common elements in the Universe.Hydrogen and helium, the most common elements in the Universe.Hydrogen and helium, the most common elements in the Universe.
Why do you have helium?
Helium exists because Hydrogen fuses into Helium in the core of hot stars.
Do small stars have hydrogen and helium?
All stars contain hydrogen and helium.
What are the two main elements found in the stars?
Hydrogen and helium

What kind of power is generated in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the process that provides energy to the stars.The star fuses hydrogen to form helium this is a process that gives out a lot of energy,stars which are more passive than our sun then it fuses the helium atoms to form carbon.
What does fuel the sun?
Hydrogen. It doesn't really burn though, because burning is an oxidation process. Hydrogen fuses to form helium, at least for stars in the main stage.

What are stars maed of?
Stars are made of hydrogen and helium.
What are the 2 gases that the sun consist of?
