When the temperature of the Sun's core reaches sufficiently high levels, nuclear fusion occurs, primarily converting hydrogen into helium. This process releases vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat, which sustains the Sun's luminosity and provides the energy that supports life on Earth. If the core temperature were to increase further, it could lead to the fusion of heavier elements, triggering different stages in stellar evolution. However, the current balance of pressure and gravity maintains stability in the Sun's core, preventing catastrophic changes.
What else can I help you with?
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the Suns core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
For nuclear fusion.
What is the temperature of sun's inner core?
The temperature at the Sun's inner core is estimated to be around 15 million degrees Celsius. This high temperature is necessary to sustain the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun.
What makes a high mass star's core collapse?
A high mass star's core collapses when nuclear fusion ceases and gravitational pressure overwhelms the radiation pressure supporting the core. This collapse leads to a rapid increase in temperature and pressure, triggering a supernova explosion.
Why do thermonuclear reactions in the Sun take place only in its core?
Thermonuclear reactions in the Sun take place only in its core because the core has high temperatures and pressures that are necessary for nuclear fusion to occur. The extreme conditions in the core provide the energy needed to overcome the repulsive forces between atomic nuclei and allow them to fuse together.
Why does the core of the sun need to be well over a million degrees?
The high temperature of the Sun's core is necessary for nuclear fusion to occur. Fusion reactions at this temperature produce the tremendous amount of energy that allows the Sun to shine and sustain life on Earth.
Is the temperature of the outer core higher OR lower than its melting point?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
Where does nuclear fussion only take place in the sun?
Only at the core where the temperature and pressure is high enough.
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the Suns core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
For nuclear fusion.
Difference between core temperature and surface temperature of human body?
yes your core will always stay at 98.6 but your surace temperature changes with the temperature alround you. for example if you are in a cold place your surface temperature will be cold. if in a hot area your surface temperature will be hot. the only time your core temperature changes is if your sick or if you been been exposed to a low or high temperature for an exteneded period of time. i hope that is clear enough
Why is the outer core solid with high temperature?
The outer core is not solid, it is liquid.
How do engineers make skyscrapes strong enough to withstand earthquakes high wind and severe changes in temperature?
By clustering steel collumns and beams in the skyscraper's core. By clustering steel collumns and beams in the skyscraper's core.
What are the effects of the inner core?
The inner core is solid, even though it has a high temperature, because of the high pressure in the center of Earth.
Why is the temperature inside the earth is very high?
Because of the core
Why is the temperature inside the earth very high?
Because of the core
Core temperature of mercury?
The temperature of Mercury's core has not yet been determined. The surface temperatures are very high because of the closeness of the sun.
Why is the Earth's inner core solid?
The Earth's inner core is solid because of the immense pressure from the layers of rock and metal above it, which keeps the inner core's temperature high enough to maintain a solid state despite being made mostly of iron and nickel.
Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
