What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
Nuclear reaction taking place inside sun is called?
Nuclear fusion; hydrogen into helium.
What is the main type of fusion taking place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes take place to form helium.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
What is the process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus?
It is called fusion. It is the process taking place on our sun, as two hydrogen atoms fuse together to form a helium atom and give off a small amount of energy while losing some mass.
Are stars in the main sequence when nuclear fusion of any element is taking place?
No. Stars are only in the main sequence when they are fusing hydrogen.
The sun's own energy comes from solar energy?
Yes, and it is formed from the process called nuclear fusion. The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reactions taking place in the sun's core.
What part of the sun is energy produced in?
Nuclear fusion is taking place in the Sun's core that makes the solar energy. Hope this helped! :)
When are changes of energy to mass and mass to energy observable?
-- In the cores of stars, where nuclear fusion reactions are taking place. -- Inside the casing of a nuclear weapon at the moment of detonation. -- In the fuel rods in the core of a nuclear power generating station. -- At the point of collision in the experimental target area in a particle accelerator.
What manages to keep the sun so hot all of the time?
The sun is fueled by the nuclear fusion taking place in its core. It releases massive amounts of energy, which is given out in heat and light.
Does the sun's energy come from electromagnetic energy?
The sun's energy comes from the nuclear fusion taking place in its core in which two hydrogen atoms combine to form one helium atom.
Why does the sun shine?
The sun shines because the fusion reactions taking place there release a tremendous amount of energy. And light, which is electromagnetic energy, is released in great quantities. The brightness of the sun speaks to the amount of power it generates.
