In what layer of the sun does fusion take place?
Fusion takes place in the core of the sun. This is where the immense pressure and temperature allow hydrogen atoms to combine and form helium, releasing energy in the process.
Why doesn't the fuel in the sun explode in one gigantic nuclear explosion?
Only in the very center of the sun can the nuclear fusion take place - that is the only part of the sun where heat and pressure are both high enough. As you move outward from the center, the pressures and temperatures both drop below the level necessary to cause fusion. Hence, the star has a state of equilibrium.
Does the sun glow due to nuclear reactions in its corona?
No, the sun's corona appears to glow due to the extreme heat and energy produced by the sun's core through nuclear fusion. The corona is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere and is much hotter than the surface layer, giving it its distinctive glow.
Why doesn't the sun need oxygen to burn?
The "burning" that takes place inside the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, a fundamentally different process. At the core of the sun hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing far more energy than combustion does.
What is the suns site of solar energy production?
The sun's surface itself is the main site of solar energy production. Through nuclear fusion reactions, the sun converts hydrogen into helium and releases large amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is then radiated out from the sun and travels through space to Earth.
Where fusion takes place in the sun?
in the center of the sun in high temperatures and pressure
In what part of the sun does fusion takes place?
Fusion takes place in the core of the sun.
Where does nuclear fusion take place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of the sun.
What is the main process that takes place in the sun?
nuclear fusion
What is the cause of suns release of radiant energy?
Nuclear fusion in the center of the Sun heats it up.Nuclear fusion in the center of the Sun heats it up.Nuclear fusion in the center of the Sun heats it up.Nuclear fusion in the center of the Sun heats it up.
What is the central region of the sun in which nuclear fusion takes place?
The central region of the sun is called the core.
Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
In what layer of the sun does fusion take place?
Fusion takes place in the core of the sun. This is where the immense pressure and temperature allow hydrogen atoms to combine and form helium, releasing energy in the process.
The inner part of the sun where fusion takes place also the inner part of earth is what?
The core
Is the convection layer the middle layer of the sun where nuclear fusion takes place?
The Sun's fusion takes place in the core. The Convective zone brings heat to the surface by thermal convection, which is basically hot plasma coming up to the surface, then cooling and sinking.
Why is the sun's energy generated in the center and not from its surface?
The sun is powered by the fusion of hydrogen and helium in it's center. The heat in the center of the sun, and the pressure in the center, is great enough to cause the fusion to happen.
Where in the sun is fusion?
Mainly in the center, or core, of the Sun.
