What is the atomic process that occurs in the core of stars?
Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.
What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
How do the stars shine?
Stars shine through the process of nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process occurs in the core of the star where high temperatures and pressures are present. The energy produced from nuclear fusion is what causes stars to shine brightly in the sky.
What gas is exchanged into helium in a stars nuclear reactions?
In a star's nuclear reactions, hydrogen is converted into helium. This process, known as nuclear fusion, occurs in the core of a star, where high temperatures and pressures cause hydrogen atoms to combine to form helium.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
What is the atomic process that occurs in the core of stars?
Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.
What is the nuclear reaction for beryllium?
One example of a nuclear reaction involving beryllium is the reaction of beryllium-9 with an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) to produce carbon-12 and a neutron. This reaction is important in stellar nucleosynthesis and occurs in high-energy environments such as inside stars.
What type of nuclear reaction occurs in a reactor?
Nuclear fission is the primary type of nuclear reaction that occurs in a reactor. It involves the splitting of heavy atomic nuclei to release energy.
Is there a place other then the Sun that nuclear reaction happens?
Yes - all the millions of other stars in the Universe, where fusion occurs. Also of course fission reactions in all nuclear reactors on earth
What is the reaction that happens in a stars core is?
nuclear fusion
What reaction occurs when uranium atoms are split?
In such a case nuclear fission occurs.
How stars grow old and die?
When stars "age", they spend their fuel source in a nuclear reaction (usually nuclear fusion).
What is the meaning of nuclear reactor?
It is a device where a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction occurs.
Which nuclear reaction occurs when one nucleus splits into two nuclei?
Nuclear Fission
What is a reaction that occurs when uranium atoms are split?
Nuclear fission
Which nuclear reaction occurs when two nuclei merge together to form one nucleus?
Nuclear fusion is the process in which two nuclei combine to form a single nucleus. This reaction releases a large amount of energy and is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
