Hydrogen is the primary fuel that stars burn. A star fuses two hydrogen atoms together to form one helium atom. Energy is released during the process that we see as light and feel as heat.

How could the sun be burning if there is no air in space?

The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. from the answer on the top.. the sun does not burn oxygen... is eats up the oxygen and make carbon dioxide.


How is electricity made from natural gas?

you burn gas under water and it makes steam. this steam turns a turbine which makes magnets rotate large coils of wire, causing electricity. Answer Gas turbines drive an alternator.


Which gas makes stars burn?

Stars don't burn in the sense we are use to here on Earth. They do not combine oxygen with a fuel to generate energy. Stars shine brightly because they take atoms (in the case of our Sun - hydrogen atoms) and squeeze them together under tremendous temperatures and pressure from gravity, forcing them to fuse into heavier atoms - helium for our star. There is an extra bit of mass that is converted to energy in this process by Einstein's E=MC2, which generates the heat and light we see and feel.

Why do stars sometimes cease to exist?

Lifetimes of stars are ended when they run low on gas to burn. The star will expand exponentially and turn red (called a Red Giant). When the star runs out of gas completely, in explodes (called a Supernova) and will evntually transform into either a Black Hole or a Dwarf Star.
