Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
Nuclear fusion, usually by fusing hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
The main source of a star's light is nuclear fusion in its core. This process involves the conversion of hydrogen into helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. The energy generated by nuclear fusion is what makes stars shine brightly.
The main source of energy for stars is nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which is what allows stars to shine and emit heat.
Fusion and fission is related to combining (fusion) or splitting (fission) radioactive nuclei, in both cases releasing binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force). Fission is more commonly used in nuclear power plants and A-Bombs, while fusion is more commonly used in H-Bombs and in the Stars.
Nuclear fusion
The nuclear reaction that occurs in the sun is fusion. This process involves the fusing of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. Fusion is the main source of energy for the sun and other stars.
Not typically. When a star burns it starts with fusion of Hydrogen. Later heavier atoms are formed, also by fusion. It is believed that the very heavy atoms, that release energy when split (fission) are only formed by very massive stars . These atoms are also formed by fusion. When one of these very massive stars explodes (super nova) it spews out its atoms and during this process its possible some fission will occur, but for the most part star evolution is a fusion story.
No, it is nuclear fusion. Fission is the splitting of heavy atoms, such as uranium. Fusion is the combining of light atoms into heavier atoms.Stars get their energy from fusion, combining hydrogen into helium, and eventually, helium into metals. (In Astronomy, a metal is any element heavier than helium.)This is both the source of energy for stars, and the explanations why we have metals (oxygen, carbon, etc.) on Earth. The heavy elements were produced in stars; some of them went to space and participated in the formation of new solar systems.
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.
None, they rely on fusion
Nuclear fusion, usually by fusing hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
Nuclear fission is when a neutron is fired at an element with a high atomic number, which splits and releases more neutrons and energy as a result. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and experimental reactors.
Nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as per Einstein's equation E=mc^2. Fusion reactions are the primary source of energy in the sun and other stars.
