What do stars produce through fusion?
Stars produce energy through nuclear fusion, which involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which is what makes stars so luminous.
Why are the hydrogen Balmer lines strong in the spectra of medium temperature stars and weak in the spectra of hot and cool stars?
Balmer lines are produced by colliding hydrogen atoms with electrons excited to 2nd energy level. Cool stars don't have enough collision to excite the electrons, hot stars have too much collision and excite the electrons beyond 2nd energy level.
Are stars really little moons?
No. Stars are much larger than planets or moons. Stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own.
Is the sun much larger than all the other stars?
No. The sun only appears much larger than other stars because it is much closer. Many stars are much larger than the sun.
Who is big sun or stars?
Some stars are larger than our sun while some are not.
How do stars produce larger and larger atoms?
Stars produce larger atoms through a process called stellar nucleosynthesis, which occurs during their lifecycles. In the core of a star, nuclear fusion reactions combine lighter elements, such as hydrogen and helium, into heavier elements, releasing energy. As stars evolve, particularly in their later stages, they can fuse these heavier elements into even larger ones, like carbon, oxygen, and beyond, in a series of fusion reactions. This process continues until the star exhausts its nuclear fuel, often resulting in supernova explosions that scatter these heavy elements into space, where they can eventually form new stars and planets.
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
How star Gemini lives?
Gemini is not a single star but a constellation. Each of the stars in Gemini "lives" through thermonuclear fusion. Atoms of small nucleii are fused together to produce atoms of larger nucleii while releasing energy.
In nuclear fusion what atoms are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses?
In nuclear fusion, atoms of hydrogen isotopes such as deuterium and tritium are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses. The fusion reaction involves the combination of these hydrogen isotopes to form helium, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process.
Are hydrogen or oxygen atoms used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen atoms are used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion. During the fusion process, hydrogen isotopes (such as deuterium and tritium) combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. Oxygen atoms are not typically involved in nuclear fusion reactions to produce helium.
Do stars produce light?
Yes. The sun is one of many stars, and there are even larger stars than the sun. Our sun is just an average star.
How do atoms make stars burn?
The enormous heat and pressure at the center of a star causes atoms to fuse together, releasing enormous amounts of energy. Most stars fuse hydrogen, but larger stars that have exhausted the hydrogen in their cores may fuse heavy elements.
The combination of the center of atoms to produce a heavier element is called what?
The combination of the center of atoms to produce a heavier element is called nuclear fusion.
Are stars nuclear energy?
Stars produce nuclear energy by fusion Stars form when contracting dust in a planetary nebula contract and get so hot that nuclear fusion occurs. It explodes, forming a porotostar. Nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms combining to form helium atoms is what keeps the star glowing.
When two atoms combine to form a larger atoms its called?
Atomic fussion, which takes place inside stars and fused Hydrogen atoms together to form Helium atoms. Nuclear fusion
Does solid have atoms?
All solids consist of atoms except for some stars such as neutron stars.
Is the sun larger than the other stars?
The sun is larger than some of the other stars. There are many stars that are larger than the sun.
