What else can I help you with?
Do different types of stars burn different fuel?
Yes, young stars burn Hydrogen and produce Helium. As they age, they often turn into red giants, and at that time they burn the Helium, making Oxygen and Carbon. Very large stars can even burn the Oxygen and Carbon, making even heaver elements, such as Iron.
Is it true stars like the sun burn hydrogen producing helium?
All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.
What gas is the sun burning?
The sun is primarily burning hydrogen gas through nuclear fusion in its core. This process converts hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
What chemical does the sun burn?
The sun does not "burn" a specific chemical, rather it goes through a process called nuclear fusion where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
What is the main source of energy of a star as it grows in size to becomes a red giant?
A main sequence star burns hydrogen to helium. Once a main sequence star exhausts all of the hydrogen, it begins to expand and burn helium causing if to become a red giant.
How is helium and hydrogen used on a large scale?
helium does not burn, hydrogen will burn in air
What is the colour of helium at room temperature?
Helium is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature.
Does the element helium burn?
No. Helium is completely nonflammable. It is chemically inert.
Is hellium flammable?
No. Helium does not burn.
What color does helium burn?
Helium does not burn. It is an extremely stable noble gas. Only in a nuclear reactor can it be made to react.
Helium safer than hydrogen?
Yes, because helium doesn't react, burn or explode.
What colour flame do you get when you burn sodium?
You get and orange - yellow colour.
Why is helium safer then hydrogen for use in airships?
Helium is inert. Will not burn like hydrogen does so well.
What element is lightweight and cannot burn?
Helium (and any other noble gas really)
What is the burning point for helium?
Helium does not burn because it is an inert gas, meaning it does not undergo chemical reactions like combustion.
What color does helium burn in a flame test?
Helium does not burn in a flame test because it is an inert gas and does not react with the flame to produce a characteristic color.
What are the gases that burn in the sun?
it is made of mostly hydrogen and helium
