Why does the temperature in the centers of stars have to be extremely high for fusion to occur?
fusion is called thermonuclear for a good reason: it needs a lot of heat to get started.
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Where in space do fission and fusion happen?
Strictly speaking nowhere in space, because space has no matter in it. Fusion happens in the stars. Fission may occur in some planets somewhere in the universe but not in our solar system
What elements in the sun are fused together?
Our sun produces mostly helium by fusion, but it also uses fusion to make lithium, beryllium and boron. Temperature and mass determine how far a star can go with fusion. "Solar fusion" only refers to the fusion going on in Sol, the star nearest Earth (our star, the sun). Stellar nucleosynthesis is how elements are produced in stars, and in much larger & hotter stars fusion is responsible for elements as heavy as unstable zinc, or stable iron.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Where does the fusion reaction occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
Does fusion occur in white dwarf stars?
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star in which fusion as stopped.
Where does nuclear fusion occur and why?
In the cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
Why does nuclear fusion not occur on earth?
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
Which part of the newborn star does fusion occur?
In all stars, the fusion only occurs in the inner core.
When does hydrogen-helium fusion and helium-carbon fusion occur in stars like our sun?
When hydrogen stocks run out
What actually causes the fusion to occur in stars?
The cause is the very high temperature.
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
How does nuclear fusion work when stars produce their own energy?
The fusion of Hydrogen into Helium causes heat and radiation to occur.
Why does the temperature in the centers of stars have to be extremely high for fusion to occur?
fusion is called thermonuclear for a good reason: it needs a lot of heat to get started.
Where does fusion of hydrogen to helium most commonly occur?
In stars. As far as I know this is the only place.
