∙ 6y agoA red giant is a star that has (to a great extent, at least) run out of hydrogen; it will therefore fuse hydrogen into heavier elements.

How do gravity and fusion have opposite effects on a star?
This fusion gives off energy, which expands the surface of the star. Gravity pulls the outer parts of a red giant towards the center.
What is the heat and energy of a star is generated by?
The energy in a star is generated by nuclear fusion.
What happens to main sequence stars when energy from fusion is no longer available?
The star will move on to its next stage of evolution, along the Red Giant branch.
The energy source of stars is primarily associated with?
hydrogen fusion in the core. eventually runs out of hydrogen in the core and hydrogen fusion moves to the shell whilst the core contracts (star expands into red giant)...star leaves the main sequence.
What is a giant ball of hot gases that undergo nuclear fusion?
a star
Where does the energy for the fusion in the red giant come from?
A red giant is a star that has (to a great extent, at least) run out of hydrogen; it will therefore fuse hydrogen into heavier elements.
How is nuclear fusion in a main-sequence star is different from nuclear fusion in a giant star.?
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.
How nuclear fusion in a main sequence is different from nuclear fusion in a giant star?
Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.

How does a star get energy?
nuclear fusion
What is the heat and energy of a star is generated by?
The energy in a star is generated by nuclear fusion.
When its fusion stops a star will become either a black hole a neutron star or?
When fusion stops in a star it will start to fuse helium and will become a red giant.
What happens to main sequence stars when energy from fusion is no longer available?
The star will move on to its next stage of evolution, along the Red Giant branch.

hydrogen fusion in the core. eventually runs out of hydrogen in the core and hydrogen fusion moves to the shell whilst the core contracts (star expands into red giant)...star leaves the main sequence.
What is a giant ball of hot gases that undergo nuclear fusion?
a star
What does the energy of a star come from?
Nuclear fusion, or the heating-up and smashing together of hydrogen nuclei, is the process via which stars produce energy.
Does a red main sequence star have fusion?
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
