Which elements are involved during the process of fusion in the sun?
Hydrogen is turned into helium in the fusion process that releases the Sun's energy.
How does fusion relate to the sun?
The energy of the Sun is produced by nuclear fusion - the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
Helium in the sun is produced by what?
The core of the sun contains extreme temperatures and pressure which causes fusion to occur. Hydrogen, the lightest element is fused into helium. This event releases large amounts of energy, which is the light and heat that reach Earth all the way from the sun, 93 million miles away.
Why is energy produced by the sun when hydrogen fuses into helium?
When hydrogen fuses into helium protons break away. During the process, energy is released.
All of the sun energy is produced in its core through?
Through nuclear fusion of hydrogen to form helium
Is sun is the supreme energy?
The sun is a collection of hydrogen and helium. Two hydrogen slam into each other, losing mass, and producing energy and helium. And so, as energy is produced from the sun, the sun loses mass-the sun will be lost after a time. The sun is merely an energy-producing object, not an energy and definitely not the supreme energy.
What produces most of the sons and it?
Most of the energy of the sun is usually produced as a result of the nuclear fusion on hydrogen into helium in the core of the sun.
Is the sun energy produced by expanding?
No, that would cool the Sun down, not heat it. It was at some time believed that a CONTRACTION of the Sun would produce heat, and that is indeed possible, but most of the Sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion - converting hydrogen into helium.
How is the sun energy produced?
Nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where Hydrogen-1 is converted to Helium-4 plus energy.
Are the nuclear reactors the same processes occurring in the sun and reactors?
No. The sun produces energy by fusion. It is joining hydrogen atoms into larger helium atoms, which releases energy. Man-made nuclear reactors produce energy by fission. They break large atoms into smaller atoms, which also releases energy.
What is the sun's energy produced?
Fusion of Hydrogen atoms. Most of the suns mass consists of hydrogen. There is enough pressure and temperature in the sun for these hydrogen atoms to come together and join to produce helium atoms. This nuclear fusion reaction also releases a vast amount of energy in the form of solar radiation.
How is the energy that reaches Earth from the sun produced?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion. Mainly, converting hydorgen-1 into helium-4.
