When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
Nuclear fusion can only occur in areas of?
In areas of high temperature and high pressure
Why does nuclear fusion occur in the core?
At the core of a star, the sun for example, the pressure due to gravity is greatest and gives the best conditions for fusion to start. Heat then flows outwards in all directions from the core.
How does the sun provide a major energy source for Earth?
through nuclear reactions that occur at the core of the sun. it radiates that energy until it reaches the earth.
Does size help nuclear fusion occur?
Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
How is it that radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and nuclear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
That's because of where each of these processes occur. There is no nuclear fusion inside of Earth. There is probably a small amount of radioactive decay in the Sun, but the power produced by it is insignificant, compared to the huge amount of power produced by nuclear fusion.
When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
No place, we have not yet determined how to make a fusion reactor. Only fusion bombs.
What is nuclear fusion on the sun and where does it occur?
nuclear fusion is when 2 hydryon atoms combine or FUSE together. when this happens the neculous combine therefore causing nuclear fussion which releaces masses of heat and light enegry that radiates to earth
Where does nuclear fusion occur in any star?
in the djfafkjkvn
Why is nuclear fusion important to life on earth?
Life on Earth gets its energy from the Sun, which produces the energy through nuclear fusion.
Does nuclear fusion occur?
Nuclear fusion occurs at the core of the sun (and other stars) providing huge amount of energy to the rest of the solar system. It has also been achieved on Earth, though not in a controlled and sustained manner.
Where does most nuclear fusion occur in your solar system?
Sun
Where does nuclear fusion occur and why?
In the cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
Fusion reactions on the sun?
yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
