Most stars that are around today are made of old material from dead stars. Those old stars produced oxygen as a product once they started fusing helium and heavier elements. Some old stars are currently producing oxygen through nuclear fusion.

What stars have oxygen in them?

Most, if not all stars have some oxygen in them, but most only contain it in small concentrations.


Where oxygen come from?

Oxygen was created by fusion in the cores of stars and distributed through the universe when those stars exploded.


When was oxygen made?

Oxygen is made all the time in the cores of stars.


How do stars twinkle in the absence of oxygen?

Stars twinkle due to the Earth's atmosphere and its turbulence, which causes the light from stars to refract and flicker as it passes through. The twinkling effect is not related to the presence of oxygen specifically, so stars can still appear to twinkle in the absence of oxygen.


Why can the nuclei of carbon oxygen and iron can be found in stars?

Because they are all made inside of stars.


Which element makes up stars?

Stars are primarily made of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements like carbon, oxygen, and iron. These elements are formed through nuclear fusion in the cores of stars.


Where do oxygen and nitrogen come from?

Oxygen and nitrogen are both produced in stars through the process of nuclear fusion. When massive stars reach the end of their life cycle and explode in a supernova, they release these elements into space. These elements then combine and form new stars and planetary systems, including the Earth.


What are stars mostly made of?

Stars are mostly made of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.


How could the sun be burning if there is no air in space?

The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. The sun and other stars don't burn oxygen, they burn other gases. that's what a star is, a big ball of gas. It burns these gases, which is also what is used to classified the stars into Main Sequence stars, Giants, Dwarfs, etc. from the answer on the top.. the sun does not burn oxygen... is eats up the oxygen and make carbon dioxide.


Which came first oxygen or carbon?

Carbon came first. Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the universe and is formed in the core of stars through nuclear fusion reactions. Oxygen, on the other hand, is also formed in stars but typically in later stages of stellar evolution.


What kind of reaction does oxygen undergo fusion or fission?

Oxygen undergoes fusion reactions in the cores of massive stars, where it can fuse into heavier elements. Oxygen does not undergo fission reactions naturally.


If there is no oxygen in outer space what is there?
