What gas is found in the sun?

The main gas found in the Sun is hydrogen, which fuels nuclear fusion reactions at its core. Helium is also present in the Sun as a byproduct of these fusion reactions.


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.


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.


Why does the sun go on shinning?

The sun shines because of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core. These reactions release energy in the form of light and heat, which illuminates our solar system. The sun will continue to shine as long as it has fuel to sustain these fusion reactions.


How does life on earth benefit from the fusion reactions occurring in the sun?

Life on Earth benefits from the fusion reactions occurring in the sun by providing the energy that sustains all living organisms through photosynthesis. The sun's fusion reactions also help regulate Earth's climate by providing warmth and driving weather patterns that are essential for maintaining a habitable environment.

Fusion reactions on the sun?

yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light


What are true reactions of the Sun?

They are fusion reactions, and The force to get the reactions to occur comes from gravity.

What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?

These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.


What would happen in the sun if fusion reactions suddenly ceased?

If fusion reactions suddenly ceased in the sun, the energy production that sustains the sun's heat and light would stop. This would cause the sun to cool and shrink, leading to a decrease in its brightness and energy output. Eventually, the sun would become a white dwarf, a dense and cooling remnant of a once active star.


Does magnetism produce energy in the sun?

No, the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions

Why are nuclear reactions in the sun called fusion reactions?

Because it is the joining together (fusing) of hydrogen nuclei to form helium


What produces energy in the Sun alpha reactions proton splitting nuclear reactions or yellow dwarfs?

The energy output of the Sun derives from nuclear fusion reactions. A yellow dwarf is not a process, it's a type of star, of which the Sun is one.
