Out of carbon helium hydrogen oxygen and uranium which is the main source of the suns energy?
Bcmartin
Hydrogen The sun is just made up of Hydrogen 74.9% and Helium 23.8%. The suns high pressure, and temperature fuses hydrogen into helium. The process is called Nuclear Fusion, this releases a lot of energy.

Explain the role of helium in stars?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen produces helium and energy at the cost of some mass following the conversion rate e=mc^2
Why is energy produced by the sun when hydrogen fuses into helium?
When hydrogen fuses into helium protons break away. During the process, energy is released.
What are the 2 main elements in stars?
All stars are comprised of around 98% hydrogen and helium, of which approximately 3/4 is hydrogen.This is also true of all the matter in the universe as a whole.While stars contain some amount of pretty much every element, they are made primarily of hydrogen and helium.
What does the sun turn into helium?
If you are asking "how helium formed the sun?" then for your information, sun and all the stars are formed mostly from Hydrogen. And if you are asking "How helium is formed in the sun?", the answer is that the Hydrogen in the sun fuses in itself(that's where from the sun get's its energy and luminosity) producing variety of elements like helium, carbon oxygen,iron etc.
What percent of hydrogen is fused to helium in the sun and what percent is fused to energy?
99.993 % into Helium, .007 % into energy.
Which element combines with oxygen to form water Helium Hydrogen Carbon or Uranium?
Hydrogen
Which atom is the heaviest helium uranium lead iron Hydrogen?
Uranium atom is the heaviest.
Which of these elements have the least number of neutrons helium carbon gold uranium?
The answer is helium.
How much Uranium is in the sun?
there is not uranium in the sun. the nuclear fusion is due to hydrogen that fuses to helium
Can helium be turned into hydrogen to produce energy?
No, energy is produced by the opposite reaction, hydrogen to helium
What produces sun's energy?
Nuclear fusion of Hydrogen to Helium is what produces the Sun's Energy. this takes place in the core. Later when it becomes a Red Giant it will fuse Helium to Carbon
What elements are likely be formed by the sun at some time in its life a helium and carbon b iron and uranium c hydrogen and iron d carbon and lead?
A. Helium and carbon. The other heavier elements such as iron, uranium and lead will be created only in the explosions of supernova stars, such as the one discovered just last week (late May, 2011).
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
What is a noble gas hydrogen helium or carbon?
helium is a noble gas
Explain the role of helium in stars?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen produces helium and energy at the cost of some mass following the conversion rate e=mc^2
What is the difference between a carbon atom and a uranium atom?
I won't even waste the time looking up actual numbers.a mole of atoms of helium is about 4 grams, therefor 1 gram of helium is about 0.25 moles of helium atomsa mole of atoms of uranium is about 238 grams, therefor 1 gram of uranium is about 0.0042 moles of uranium atomsA gram of helium contains more atoms than a gram of uranium by about a factor of 60.
When does hydrogen-helium fusion and helium-carbon fusion occur in stars like our sun?
When hydrogen stocks run out
