What else can I help you with?
Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
Is there a place other then stars that have nuclear reaction?
Yes, they have accomplished nuclear fusion in a lab in Princeton.
Nuclear reaction taking place inside sun is called?
The nuclear reaction taking place inside the sun is called nuclear fusion. This is where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
What kind of temperatures are requires for a nuclear fusion reaction to take place?
10,000,000 and up.
Where does nuclear fusion take place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of the sun.
Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
What is called when hydrogen atoms condense to make helium?
This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.
Is there a place other then the Sun that nuclear reaction happens?
Yes - all the millions of other stars in the Universe, where fusion occurs. Also of course fission reactions in all nuclear reactors on earth
What is fusion ignition?
Fusion ignition refers to the manner in which a fusion reaction is "ignited" to make it happen. In nature stars, which are huge fusion reactors, using their enormous pressure to compress and heat matter (mostly hydrogen) when they are first formed. This massive heating and pressure "triggers" or "ignites" the fusion chain reaction. The chain will then be sustained by the heat given off during the fusion process, with massive gravity keeping the whole thing "under control" or "in one place" so it will continue. During this process the hydrogen is pushed/compressed together so far that it goes past the repulsive nuclear forces (which produces the nuclear fusion energy) and is then converted into the element known as helium. This refers to reaching the very high temperature required to achieve nuclear fusion. It could be in a tokamak type reactor such as JET, or the laser being built in California
How does the sun produce enagy?
The energy produced in the sun is liberated in the form of heat and light. The reaction going on in the sun is known as Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission. Both processes take place simultaneously.
