What else can I help you with?
Does combustion fuel the sun?
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
What is the nuclear fual in the sun?
The nuclear fuel of the sun is hydrogen. The Sun binds the hydrogen atoms into helium, which creates energy in the process.
What is the role of hydrogen gas in the sun?
The hydrogen in the Sun is fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
Why does the sun go on shining?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear reactions; it has enough fuel to continue shining for a few billion years more.
What is prime fuel for the sun energy?
Hydrogen-1, which is converted, through nuclear fusion, to helium-4.
What makes electrity work?
water, solar sun, gas, coal, fossil fuel, oil, nuclear[baned]
The sun and the fuel it contains?
The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.
How does the sun use up its fuel?
All stars- including our sun- are an ongoing nuclear fusion reaction- hydrogen is fused into helium. The hydrogen is consumed in that reaction.
How long has the nuclear fuel of the sun been burning?
The Sun is estimated, based on its size and energy production, to be about 5 billion years old."The Solar System", Roman Smoluchowski, Scientific American Library, 1983, page 6
What kind of stars become white dwarfs?
After a star like our Sun runs out of nuclear fuel, it will shed its outer layers and become a white dwarf. White dwarfs are created from low to medium mass stars (like the Sun) that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and undergone certain stages of stellar evolution.
Which of the following would be considered the Sun's fuel?
Mostly hydrogen for a star like our sun in the solar system.
Would sunspot activity decrease if the sun's nuclear fuel is exhausted and it no longer supported the release of nuclear energy?
Yes. There would be no sunspots at all. But note that what was asked was "if the sun's nuclear fuel is exhausted and it no longer supported the release of nuclear energy". This would mean the sun was spent, or had died and was reduced to a white hot ball of material. There'd be no sunspots under those circumstances. Sunspots result from the fact that regions of the sun's surface can be at different temperatures. This has been seen in other stars, so we know sunspots occur in stars of different types and of different compositions. In the life of a star, when does it quit showing sunspots? Very, very late in life, and only for a short period until its end.
