What is produced when elements fuse in the sun?
Both energy (sunlight) and helium are produced when hydrogen fuses together. This also what happened when the US used atomic weapons on Japan in WW2.
What is lost when the sun fuses hydrogen to helium?
About 0.7% of the mass - this is converted to energy, which powers the Sun.
Out of carbon helium hydrogen oxygen and uranium which is the main source of the suns energy?
Hydrogen The sun is just made up of Hydrogen 74.9% and Helium 23.8%. The suns high pressure, and temperature fuses hydrogen into helium. The process is called Nuclear Fusion, this releases a lot of energy.
True or false a main sequence star generates energy by fusing helium into hydrogen?
Oops ! No. The statement is going along pretty good until the end.The star actually fuses hydrogen into helium .
The sun burns hydrogenate an helium to make what?
The sun fuses hydrogen to make helium. It will be several billion years before the sun fuses helium to make heavier elements.
What is produced when elements fuse in the sun?
Both energy (sunlight) and helium are produced when hydrogen fuses together. This also what happened when the US used atomic weapons on Japan in WW2.
When hydrogen fuses with hydrogen what new element does this produce?
When hydrogen is fused in the suns core Helium is produced.
How much energy is released when one gram of hydrogen fuses into helium?
5
What does nuclear fusion give the sun?
The sun fuses hydrogen into helium. The mass of the resulting helium is not the same as the original hydrogen. The difference is energy.
Where do the sun energy comes from?
The Sun fuses hydrogen-1, converting it into helium-4. Thus, the energy comes from the nuclear energy stored in the hydrogen.
What energy makes up the Sun?
The Sun is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium which exists in the form of highly active plasma. The Sun fuses hydrogen together into helium thus producing its energy.
What is lost when the sun fuses hydrogen to helium?
About 0.7% of the mass - this is converted to energy, which powers the Sun.

Hydrogen plus hydrogen helium?
an isotope of hydrogen that has a mass of 2 rather then 1.09 fuses to make helium
The sun fuses hydrogen into what element?
helium
Why do you have helium?
Helium exists because Hydrogen fuses into Helium in the core of hot stars.
What fuses hydrogen to form helium?
Very high temperatures and pressures are needed to fuse hydrogen into helium.
