A process called nuclear fusion occurs within a star. Hydrogen nuclei are slammed together by the intense heat and pressure in the stellar core so fast that they cannot repel each other electrically. The resulting helium nucleus is slightly less massive than the combined hydrogen nuclei. The missing mass has become energy in the form of gamma rays (high energy light), thanks to Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. The core of the star after a certain distance gives way to a radiative zone where energy is blasted outward, and then to a convective zone where hot plasma rises and cooler plasma sinks down in a sort of "flow".
What else can I help you with?
When Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by the?
It is balanced by radiation pressure, and gas pressure.
What are the differences between the death of a huge star and a giant star?
The difference is that the giant star has it's death more seriously but,The huge star is mostly not well important to the huge star.
What is a huge star that begins to use the gases in its core?
When a star exhausts its core hydrogen fuel, it begins to fuse heavier elements like helium, carbon, and oxygen. This fusion process generates more energy in the core and causes the star to expand and become a huge star. This stage is known as a red giant or supergiant.
Stars balance there inside gravity by?
The inward force of gravity is counteracted by two outward forces: gas pressure, and radiation pressure. Once the star runs out of fuel, the radiation pressure stops, the gas pressure is no longer enough to counteract gravity, and the star collapses - into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on its mass.
What causes the outward force in a star?
The outward force in a star is caused by the pressure generated from the energy released during nuclear fusion in its core. This pressure counteracts the force of gravity pulling inward, creating a stable equilibrium that allows the star to maintain its shape and balance.
When a star forms where is the build up of temperature and pressure the greatest?
The build up of temperature and pressure is greatest at the core of the forming star. This is where gravity causes atoms to be squeezed together and nuclear fusion reactions begin, releasing huge amounts of energy.
How does a star become what it is?
Dust and gas particles tend to adhere to each other. A star is formed in a gaseous cloud over many billions of years. The more material that gets together, the more is attracted by gravity until the mass is so huge that high pressure in the inside causes the material to melt and burn....
When Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by the?
It is balanced by radiation pressure, and gas pressure.
What Inside a star the force of gravity is balanced by the?
Inside a star, the force of gravity is balanced by the pressure generated from nuclear fusion reactions occurring in the star's core. These nuclear reactions create an outward pressure that counteracts the force of gravity trying to collapse the star. This delicate balance between gravity and pressure determines the size, temperature, and lifespan of a star.
what causes a star to explode as a supernova?
Either somebody shoots at the star. Or kills the star turning it into a supernova.
Is a star as big as a planet?
the sun is huge compared to earth. OVER 100 earths can fit inside a storm on Jupiter (the red spot) so a lot of earths can inside it. Jupiter looks fairly small compared to the sun. and the sun is a small star. So Stars are HUGE!!!!!!!!
What causes the collapse of a star?
The collapse of a star is based on its age. When it runs out of "Fuel" its inside contracts as the outside expands. it can then super nova or collapse into a tiny star.
What are the differences between the death of a huge star and a giant star?
The difference is that the giant star has it's death more seriously but,The huge star is mostly not well important to the huge star.

What name of star is giant?
If the question was what is the biggest star in the universe it would be Canis Majoris, which is HUGE. We can fit 1 million Earths inside our sun, and you can fit 7 QUADRILLION Earths inside Canis Majoris!
