The sun fuses hydrogen atoms into what?

Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.


What element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun and core?

When hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun's core, they create helium. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat, which provides the sun's power.


Tiny particles of hydrogen fuses to helium in the sun?

Yes, they do. Because of the enormous gravity of the sun Hydrogen atoms fuse to each other (only 2) to make Helium.


When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun nuclei of what are produced?

When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun, they produce helium nuclei. Specifically, the fusion process in the sun involves the conversion of hydrogen isotopes, such as deuterium and tritium, into helium-4 nuclei, along with the release of energy in the form of gamma rays and solar radiation.


What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?

When hydrogen nuclei fuse together, they can form helium. This fusion process is the energy source for stars, including our sun, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through a series of nuclear reactions.


What chemical is inside the sun?

Hydrogen is in the sun, when the hydrogen atoms fuse (join together) they make helium in stars. this gives out lots of heat and light.


Hydrogen atoms fuse and become what?

Hydrogen atoms fuse to become helium atoms during the process of nuclear fusion in stars. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the source of the sun's energy.


What is fused from hydrogen in the sun?

In the sun, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium through a process called nuclear fusion. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat, which is what sustains the sun's brightness and temperature.


If a star is the same mass as the sun for how many years can it fuse hydrogen and helium?

A star with the same mass as the Sun can fuse hydrogen in its core for about 10 billion years. After exhausting its hydrogen fuel, it will then enter the helium fusion phase, which lasts for around 100 million years. Therefore, while hydrogen fusion dominates its life, helium fusion is a much shorter process.


Is helium in the sun produced by nuclear fusion?

Yes. Hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium - releasing heat as a by-product. The helium atoms migrate from the centre of the sun to its surface - reverting back to hydrogen as they do so. The cycle repeats itself.


Is it true stars like the sun burn hydrogen producing helium?

All stars fuse hydrogen into helium - the slight difference in atomic weight between 4 hydrogen atoms and one helium atom, is given off as radiation.


What does the sun burn to make something else?

The sun "burns" hydrogen to make helium. At 10 million degrees Kelvin, hydrogen begins to fuse into helium. In other, larger stars all the hydrogen will fuse to become helium, then all the helium will fuse to become beryllium, all the beryllium will fuse to become carbon, and so on, until it reaches iron. Fusion no longer produces energy after iron, so the star either collapses or goes supernova. "Burning" is not the correct term, fusion is.
