What happens when heavier elements are formed by fusion then a massive star expands?
yes as heavy elements are used for fuel the star expands this is what will happen to the earth it will swell to a red giant engulfing the inner 3 planets as it slowly dies
What process release the most energy from nuclear fusion burning or shrinking due to gravity?
In a star a balance exist between gravity shrinking and expansion due to fusion energy released.
What process released the most energy nuclear fusion burning or shrinking due to gravity?
in a protostar before fusion ignites, gravity.in a normal star, fusion.in a star at the end of its life when fusion burns out, gravity. This is what drives the final blast of a supernova explosion.
When a protostar rises to 10000000 degrees celsius will a protostar become a star before or after nuclear fusion?
through the process of fusion, it becomes a star: the birth of the star is the start of fusion. therefore, it is after fusion that it is classified as a star.
What color is nuclear fusion?
Stars shine due to nuclear fusion. The visible light produced by our star (the Sun) comprises all the colours of the spectrum as evidenced by a rainbow.
What is a star that expands due to fusion?
A star that expands is running low on fuel, and is entering its end-of-life sequence. Its not due to fusion - all stars use fusion.
As heavier elements are formed by fusion a massive star expands into?
Stellar evolution
As heavier elements are formed by fusion a massive star expands into a what?
A super giant
When the core of a star shrinks after hydrogen fusion stops the core heats up but what happens to the star?
The rest of the star expands.
How do gravity and fusion have opposite effects on a star?
This fusion gives off energy, which expands the surface of the star. Gravity pulls the outer parts of a red giant towards the center.
What happens when heavier elements are formed by fusion then a massive star expands?
yes as heavy elements are used for fuel the star expands this is what will happen to the earth it will swell to a red giant engulfing the inner 3 planets as it slowly dies
Is a red giant a main sequence star?
No, a red giant is a star that has just left the hydrogen burning main sequence and begun the next step, burning helium. As helium undergoes fusion at a much higher temperature than hydrogen undergoes fusion, the star expands dramatically and as it expands its outer layers cool to red heat.
The energy source of stars is primarily associated with?
hydrogen fusion in the core. eventually runs out of hydrogen in the core and hydrogen fusion moves to the shell whilst the core contracts (star expands into red giant)...star leaves the main sequence.
What creates the heat and light in a star?
Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.Nuclear fusion, in the star's core.
What elements can find in a star?
Mostly hydrogen, helium is also present due to fusion.
What process release the most energy from nuclear fusion burning or shrinking due to gravity?
In a star a balance exist between gravity shrinking and expansion due to fusion energy released.
What is a star that uses helium for fuel and has expanding?
the North star Any star that is in its red giant phase, as the fusion of helium creates so much energy that the star expands. Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion (bright star located on Orion's right "shoulder") is an excellent example.
