What fuel is the sun using to release energy?
Our sun, Sol, uses hydrogen for fuel.
Why sun have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
Which is the element that the sun burns as fuel?
Hydrogen to Helium.
What is the fuel used to keep the Sun shining?
Hydrogen.
How will the sun evolve after the main star?
After the Sun leaves the main sequence (By running out of fuseable hydrogen) it will become an asymptotic red giant. After that, when it runs of of all fuel, stellar winds will blow away the Sun's envelope into a protoplanetary nebula (and eventually a planetary nebula) with a white dwarf in the middle, which will slowly cool to background temperature over ten quadrillion years.
How is proxima centauri similar and different from the sun?
Proxima Centauri is a "red dwarf" star. Its composition is similar to the Sun, but with less mass and it's much smaller than the Sun. It has lower core and surface temperatures. The Sun will eventually start to use helium as well as hydrogen as its fuel It will become a red giant then a white dwarf. Red dwarfs don't have a high enough core temperature to use helium as as "fuel". Proxima Centauri will not become a red giant. It will go straight to the white dwarf stage, once it has used up its hydrogen "fuel".
What is the role of hydrogen gas in the sun?
The hydrogen in the Sun is fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
What happens when hydrogen in the sun decreases?
As the hydrogen in the sun decreases, helium increases. Eventually, there won't beenough hydrogen remaining to maintain the sun's present rate of energy production.At that point, the sun will undergo drastic changes in its size and energy output that will,first, cook any life remaining on Earth at that time, and eventually, incinerate the Earth itself.
What is the fuel for the burning of the sun?
Hydrogen
What fuel is the sun using to release energy?
Our sun, Sol, uses hydrogen for fuel.
Could the sun die?
It will run out of hydrogen fuel eventually, so will die. Not for a few billion years yet though scientist reckon.
Is hydrogen affected by the sun?
no hydrogen is not affected by the sun because hydrogen can be combined with helium it creates a fuel source but it is not affected by hydrogen by it self so no hydrogen is not affected by the sun
What will happen when the sun runs out of fuel?
By that time earth will be no more:c, but just to answer your question, it will eventually become a black dwarf.
Why sun have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
Is it possible for the sun to become exhausted?
The expectation is that some day in the (to us) far future, most of the hydrogen in the sun will have been converted to helium (and higher weight atoms). At that point, the sun will be "exhausted" since the energy of the sun comes primarily from the fusion of the hydrogen - when there is no hydrogen left to fuse, the sun will have run out of "fuel".
Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?
As far as we know, the sun will never become a neutron star. it will eventually become a Red Giant and then it will eventually become a white dwarf
Is oxygen the fusion in the interior of the sun?
No, it is hydrogen that is the fuel for fusion in the sun
