Unlike lighter elements, fusing iron consumes more energy than it produces. This does not, however, cause a star to cool. Once a star gets to the point of fusing iron, the core stops producing energy and without the pressure from the heat it produces, the core collapses while the rest of the star is blasted away in an explosion.
What else can I help you with?
What going on in the Sun that making it a light sources?
Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.Nuclear fusion. Specifically, hydrogen gets converted to helium.
Why does it get got in the summer?
well, it gets 'got' in the summer because the seaons are like a cycle. Cold, Cool, Warm, and 'Got'
Are stars on fire because they are twinkling?
No. Stars appear to twinkle because their light gets distorted by Earth's atmosphere. The "fire" of a star is not true fie but plasma heated to extreme temperatures by nuclear fusion at a star's core.
What are the largest stars?
Blue I think... the hotter and bigger they are they will generally become blue or purple. When it gets old though and basically self destructs it can be red. The largest stars are red stars which are coming to the end of their life cycle
What color are the largest stars?

What is a raccoon's life cycle?
it is born tacking care of then it goes of my it self gets married has a baby and starts all it stars all over
How the sun gets energy?
By nuclear fusion.
What elements is the fuel for main sequence?
Stars a giant balls of gas mainly hydrogen and helium. inside a star there are such temperatures that hydrogen fusion occurs making helium and when the star runs outta hydrogen it gets hotter and helium fusion occurs then carbon fusion etc etc. so ultimately it depends on the age of the star.
Why can't a lower-mass star generate energy through carbon flash?
Lower-mass stars do not have enough pressure and temperature at their cores to trigger the carbon flash phenomenon, which is necessary for carbon to begin fusion into heavier elements. Carbon flash occurs in higher-mass stars that have undergone helium fusion to build up a core of carbon. Lower-mass stars typically do not reach this stage of fusion.
Where does the sun gets its energy?
It is nuclear fusion that powers the sun and most other stars._________________________It converts its own mass into energy. By combining protons into helium, it squeezes some mass into energy - 4.3 billion kilograms each second. It is the famous formula E=mc^2 by Einstein which gives us the quantitative relationship between mass and energy, where c in the formula is the speed of light.The Sun - and other stars - gets its energy from nuclear fusion. Specifically, fusing hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4.It produces it by nuclear fusion.
What element is the fuel for main-sequence star?
Stars a giant balls of gas mainly hydrogen and helium. inside a star there are such temperatures that hydrogen fusion occurs making helium and when the star runs outta hydrogen it gets hotter and helium fusion occurs then carbon fusion etc etc. so ultimately it depends on the age of the star.
What percentage is nuclear fusion used in the US?
0% No country gets any of its energy from fusion as nobody has figured out how to build a controlled fusion reactor.
