What occurs at the core of the sun?

Answer 1

During the early formation of the Sun, massive amounts of hydrogen and other "space" debris were coalesced together to form a protostar [See related link]. As more and more "stuff" was collected, the pressure in the centre of the protostar increased. When it reached a temperature of about 10 million degrees kelvin, nuclear fusion started.

In nuclear fusion, hydrogen is fused into helium in a fairly inefficient rate (Something like 0.07%) giving heat off as a by product. This temperature dictates the size and colour of the Sun.

Answer 2

The core ultimately produces energy that escapes the core via radiation and eventually convection as it nears the surface. It does this through helium fusion, the binding of hydrogen atoms together to create helium (H+H+H+H+=He + energy). This reaction is called the proton-proton chain. If the core were hotter, Helium would be fused to make carbon. Carbon would be fused to make nitrogen, etc.

Answer 3

Nuclear fusion does.

The nuclei (nucleuses) of 2 or more atoms join into a single nucleus,

which releases a comparatively enormous amount of energy. This

process is the source of the energy that a star radiates.

Answer 4

The core is the innermost layer of the sun. It is a source for all the Sun's energy. The material of the core is firmly attached and has very high temperature, which is about 57,000,000°F. The core's intense heat destroys the internal structure of an atom. Therefore all atoms are broken down into their constituent parts. An atom is composed of protons called electrons and neutrons. Neutrons have no electric charge so they do not interact a lot with the surrounding medium. Thus neutrons go away the core fairly and quickly. The protons, which have positive electric charge, and the electrons, which have negative electric charge, remain in the core and force the reactions which fuel the Sun. The charge neutral material of protons and electrons that makes up the core is called plasma. The high temperature provides the protons and electrons with a great amount of thermal energy. Therefore they moved pretty quickly and they combine with the high density of the plasma, causes the particles to continuously slam into one another creating nuclear reactions. It is the fusion, or slamming together, of particular combinations of particles that provides the energy source of the Sun.

The core is the innermost layer of the sun and it is a source for all the Sun's energy. Thermonuclear reactions takes place inside the core ,thus hydrogen atoms are comnbined with each other to make helium atoms and produces energy which keeps the Sun in a state of equilibrium. Thus this thermonuclear reaction is called nuclear fusion.

Answer 5

The suns core is the innermost portion of the sun. It's the hottest layer and under the highest pressure, enabling nuclear fusion to take place, which produces the energy.

Answer 6

there is nuclear fusion going on in the core. first the sun pull hydrogen together into helium and after hydrogen is used out, helium is fusioned into carbon molecules.
