The sun's nuclear reactions are based on fusion of atoms (hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium or lithium mainly) whereas earth-bound nuclear reactions are based on fission (uranium atoms are smashed apart to form (often radioactive) fragments and energy) There has been research on earth-bound nuclear fusion for many years (JET project in the UK) and ITER, but there is still a long way to go before we can mimic the sun!
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the remains of the sun after its nuclear reactions stops?
The remains of the sun after its nuclear reactions stop is called a white dwarf. It is a dense, Earth-sized remnant made up mostly of carbon and oxygen.
What would happen if you nuked the sun?
Nuking the sun is not possible with current technology. However, theoretically, if it were possible, the sun is so massive that a nuclear explosion would have negligible impact on it. The sun's nuclear fusion reactions are much more powerful than any man-made nuclear explosion.
Is the sun made of gold?
No, the sun is not made of gold. It is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases. These elements undergo nuclear fusion reactions in the sun's core to produce energy and light.
What is The difference between the atmosphere and the hydrosphere?
One is made from gases the other from liquids.
The sun looks like a ball of fire what is it actually?
The sun is a star made up of hot gases, primarily hydrogen and helium. The light and heat we receive from the sun are produced by nuclear fusion reactions taking place in its core. It appears as a ball of fire due to the intense energy and radiation emitted by these reactions.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
Is a new material made from composting?
No materials are made from nuclear reactions in stars
Where are synhetic elements made from?
Synthetic elements are obtained by nuclear reactions.
What is the difference between electricity being made in a fossil fuel power station to being made in a nuclear power station?
The difference is only the material that is being used to generate electricity.
Can lead be made synthetically?
Only some radioactive isotopes, by nuclear reactions.
What is rutherfordium made of?
Rutherfordium is an artificial chemical element resulting from nuclear reactions.
Is a new material new materials?
No materials are made from nuclear reactions in stars
What is the difference between detrital and chemical rocks?
Detrital- made of sediment grains Orgains- Made of fossils Chemical- from due to chemical reactions I hope this helped you enough :)
What was einsteinium made for?
1. Einsteinium has not applications out of nuclear physics laboratories. 2. Einsteinium is obtained by the intermediate of nuclear reactions in particle accelerators.
What a large energy producing object in space that is made of gases undergoing nuclear reactions?
star
What is large energy producing object in space that is made of gases undergoing nuclear reactions?
star
Can elements be made synthetically?
Yes. They can be made via nuclear reactions, exposure to certain types of radiation, and in particle accelerators.
