Three different types of neutrinos are recognized.

The latest work on the subject suggests that the combined mass

of one of each type adds up to less than one billionth of an AMU.

What is the tiniest object on Earth?

One of the tiniest objects on Earth would be an atom, which is the basic building block of matter. Atoms are incredibly small and make up everything around us, including ourselves. Within an atom, the smallest known particles are quarks.


What is the slowest thing in the universe?

The slowest thing in the universe could be considered a neutrino, a subatomic particle that moves close to the speed of light but has a tiny mass and can interact weakly with matter, resulting in slower overall movement compared to other particles.


Can an infrared telescope designed to observe fusion reactions in the Sun's core?

No, an infrared telescope is not suitable for observing fusion reactions in the Sun's core because the core of the Sun primarily emits neutrinos and gamma rays as a result of fusion reactions, not infrared radiation. To study fusion reactions in the Sun's core, scientists typically use neutrino detectors and other instruments designed to detect high-energy particles and radiation.


Exactly how do scientist know that supernovae's have existed?

Because they have been observed with the naked eye, optical telescopes, radio telescopes and neutrino detectors.Look at a piece of gold, and you are looking at the result of a supernova explosion.


What process changes hydrogen to helium in a star?

the process is called "nuclear fission ". that means the combining of two hydrogen atoms into one , that is helium . it generates huge amount of energy . it has not yet been done sucessfuly by humans , because it is unstable .however we have controlled nuclear fission . that is just the reverse of it
