Why are stars referred to as atomic furnaces?

Where is helium most commonly found?
Helium is a gas and is found either in the earth's atmosphere or in the core of the sun.
What is the most common element found in star?
Stars contain hydrogen, helium and a little iron.
Were is helium is most commonly be found in?
According to astronauts everywhere helium is mostly found in stars
What is the origin of helium?
Helium was first found in stars. Hence the origin of the name. It is derived from the word Helios.
How long does Helium Flash in Stars Solar Masses last?
The helium flash only last for a couple of minutes.
When does hydrogen-helium fusion and helium-carbon fusion occur in stars like our sun?
When hydrogen stocks run out
Where does fusion of hydrogen to helium most commonly occur?
In stars. As far as I know this is the only place.
How does nuclear fusion work when stars produce their own energy?
The fusion of Hydrogen into Helium causes heat and radiation to occur.
Do small stars have hydrogen and helium?
All stars contain hydrogen and helium.
How is lithium formed in stars?
Lithium is formed through the fusion of a hydrogen and a helium ion. This will only occur at very high temperatures and pressures.
Why do you have helium?
Helium exists because Hydrogen fuses into Helium in the core of hot stars.
What are the types of stars in the constellation Hercules?
helium stars
What are stars maed of?
Stars are made of hydrogen and helium.
What event causes a star to change from a red giant to a horizontal branch star?
Stars leave the red giant branch when the temperature of the core reaches about 100 millionoK and helium fusion in the core begins. The star is now on the horizontal branch. In smaller stars - this is known as helium flash. [See related question]
Is helium naturally produced in stars?
Yes, stars fuse Hydrogen atoms to make Helium in a natural process.
