Best Answer

Stars that produce most of their energy by the CNO cycle are predominantly those with a mass about 1.3 times the mass of our Sun or greater.

Our Sun, and stars comparable in mass or less, predominantly use the proton-proton cycle.

What is the difference between a human lifes cycle to a stars life?

There are fundamental differences and similarities between a solar versus human life cycle. As in humans, stars are born and they will die. Stars produce energy. Both humans and suns produce energy, but by different means. Humans produce our energy through chemical respiration, a combustion reaction. Stars however use nuclear fusion. Another chief difference is that human life can be measured at most in decades or a century while stars can live for billions of years, and even longer after their "deaths" in their new forms as dwarfs and black holes.


Is fusion an atomic process that is used to produce energy?

Fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide. The reaction that is produce by the collision can be used to provide energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers most active stars in the universe.


Two that produce the most energy?

The organisms that produce the most energy are plants. These organisms are autotrophs which means they can produce their own energy from the Sun.


What is the most important factor in determining a stars life cycle?

The most important factor is the stars mass.


Where do stars get light?

Stars produce light through the process of nuclear fusion. As a star burns hydrogen (in most cases) it turns into helium, the energy released creates photons or particles of light. However, not all stars give off light. Only stars with enough fuel to sustain fusion can produce visible light.


What is the secondmost abundant element in the universe?

Helium is believed to be the second most abundant element in the universe, because the energy of most stars arises from the fusion of hydrogen to produce helium.


How does food and energy pass around a cycle?

The matter of the food passes in a cycle; the energy does NOT. The energy comes from the Sun, is used here on Earth, and most of the energy is eventually radiated out into space. There is no cycle there.
