∙ 8y agoStars produce energy by fusing hydrogen atoms to form helium. After a star has exhausted its supply of hydrogen, it may start to fuse helium if it has enough mass.

What are the types of stars in the constellation Hercules?
helium stars
How is helium produced in stars?
yes
A star generates energy by?
Nuclear fusion. Most stars (the so-called "main sequence" stars) convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4.Nuclear fusion.

What are the gases burned by stars?
Stars fuse hydrogen into helium during the main sequence. After the main sequence, helium, oxygen, silicon and carbon are fused.
Why do all stars have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen and helium are, by far, the most abundant substances in the universe.
Do small stars have hydrogen and helium?
All stars contain hydrogen and helium.
Why will a helium flash never occur in some stars?
Some stars do not develop degenerate helium cores.
Which element has 5 nucleons?
There is no stable isotope with 5 nucleons, i.e. 2 protons and 3 neutrons (helium 5). Helium 5 has the shortest half-life of any of the helium isotopes, shorter than helium 8, or helium 9, or helium 10! This presented a problem to physicists trying to explain formation of heavier elements in stars.
What are stars maed of?
Stars are made of hydrogen and helium.
What are the types of stars in the constellation Hercules?
helium stars
Why do you have helium?
Helium exists because Hydrogen fuses into Helium in the core of hot stars.
Is helium naturally produced in stars?
Yes, stars fuse Hydrogen atoms to make Helium in a natural process.
Why are stars referred to as atomic furnaces?
It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.It is in the stars that the heavier elements (basically, anything after element #2, helium) are made.
What are the two main elements found in the stars?
Hydrogen and helium
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
Is there platinum white stars?
Stars are primarily hydrogen and helium.
What do stars fuse hydrogen into?
Helium
