A star forms from a cloud of gas and dust that collapses under the force of gravity. As the cloud becomes more compressed it heats up, eventually becoming hot enough to fuse hydrogen.
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
fusion reactions, where lighter elements combine to release tremendous amounts of energy. In stars, the fusion of hydrogen into helium powers their luminosity and heat. Hydrogen bombs use isotopes of hydrogen to trigger a controlled fusion reaction, releasing a massive amount of explosive energy.
Nuclear Fusion
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
Nuclear Fusion
stars.... stars are made of hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion in the stars
Yes, all stars release energy due to nuclear fusion.
Stars are driven by Nuclear Fusion.
That's how stars get their energy.
Nuclear Fusion at the Stars' Core.
