What are the two main elements of the sun?
Hydrogen and Helium. Also comprised of a core of much heavier elements, all the elements in the universe heavier than hydrogen probably came from supernovae.
What elements are heavier than hydrogen?
All of them. There are no elements lighter than hydrogen. It has only two atomic particles, and you cannot have an element with less.
Is the sun made mostly of hydrogen and helium true or false?
True. The Sun is mainly composed of hydrogen (about 74% of its mass) and helium (about 24% of its mass). The remaining 2% consists of trace amounts of heavier elements.
How are heavier elements formed from hydrogen within the core of a star?
Heavier elements are formed through nuclear fusion processes that take place in the core of a star. Hydrogen atoms undergo fusion to form helium, and then this process continues to create heavier elements by fusing helium atoms together. As the star fuses lighter elements, it produces heavier elements through a series of nuclear reactions.
What is heavier nitrogen or helium?
Nitrogen is the heavier gas (mass of 28) compared to helium (mass of 4).
Is helium lighter or heavier than hydrogen?
Heavier but safer. Look what happened to the Hindenburg:(
What is lighter than helium but heavier than air?
hydrogen
What are the two main elements of the sun?
Hydrogen and Helium. Also comprised of a core of much heavier elements, all the elements in the universe heavier than hydrogen probably came from supernovae.
What is the fuel of a star in space?
Hydrogen , Helium and a few heavier elements.
What gases are heavier than helium?
Helium exists as a monatomic gas, with atomic mass of 4.0. Thus any gas with a molecular mass higher than 4.0 would be heavier than helium. Hydrogen is the only gas that is lighter than helium; all others are heavier than helium.
What Fuel does a Star burn to create its own energy?
A star will use fusion to combine lighter atoms into heavier atoms. A main-sequence star (that's the majority of stars) will convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4, so in this case, hydrogen-1 is the fuel. Once it starts running out of hydrogen-1, it will start fusing the helium into heavier elements - in which case the main fuel will be the helium-4. Later in the life cycle of a star, the fuel can be even heavier elements.
Do all stars turn hydrogen in to helium?
No, not all stars turn hydrogen into helium. Stars like our Sun do convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion in their cores. However, more massive stars can undergo further fusion reactions involving helium, producing heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, and even iron.
What is the sun formed from?
hydrogen, helium, and a small amount (less than 2%) of heavier elements
What is Saturn's material composition?
About 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, with some traces of heavier elements.
What is Saturn's composition materials?
About 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, with some traces of heavier elements.
What changing mass is the sun's supply of energy?
It converts Hydrogen to Helium by nuclear Fusion, eventually when hydrogen runs out it will convert helium to a heavier element and so on till it burns out and dies
What are the Nuclear fuels of one solar mass stars over the course of its entire evolution?
At first, such a star will convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4; later, it will convert helium-4 into heavier atoms, up to about iron.
