No. The sun does not carry out combustion. It is powered by nuclear fusion, which produces much more energy.

Does combustion fuel the sun?

no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.


Does the sun have oxygen to support combustion?

No. The sun is about 1% oxygen but it does not carry out combustion. It is instead powered by nuclear fusion.


Does the sun release smoke?

No. Smoke is a mixture of products of combustion, which is a chemical reaction. The "burning" that takes place in the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, which is a completely different process.


Is the production of heat by sun also combustion?

No, it uses fusion.


What is the chemical combustion of the sun?

The sun undergoes nuclear fusion, not chemical combustion. In its core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the sun and makes it shine.


Why sun is a luminous body while it has complete combustion?

There is no combustion going on in the sun. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process. The sun is massive enough and hot enough to act as a blackbody, and radiate light according to its temperature.


Why doesn't the sun need oxygen to burn?

The "burning" that takes place inside the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, a fundamentally different process. At the core of the sun hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing far more energy than combustion does.


Why does your Dodge Diesel get so hot?

Internal combustion, friction and sometimes the sun.


Does the sun emit co2?

No. The sun is not a fire like we encounter on Earth. It is powered by nuclear fusion rather than combustion. At the core of the sun hydrogen atoms are fusing to form helium atoms, which releases many orders of magnitude more energy than any combustion reaction. Carbon and oxygen are present in the sun in small concentrations, but the sun is too hot for molecules to form.


Energy from the sun travels to Earth as . A. combustion B.radiant energy C.mechanical energy D.chemical energy?

chemical energy


Why can the sun not be powered by a chemical process such as combustion?

No chemical process could provide the energy that the sun does for as long as it has. At the sun's mass and energy output, any chemical process would have exhausted its supply in a few hundred to a few thousand years. The sun has maintained roughly the same energy output for several billion years.


Smog is created by?

The "short" answer is- Inefficient combustion in the vehicle's engine produces chemicals that when exposed to sun-light create smog.
