Why does the sun always burn and not go out?
The sun burns continuously due to nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing a huge amount of energy in the process. This process produces the heat and light that we receive from the sun. As long as there is enough hydrogen fuel in the sun's core, it will continue to burn and emit energy.
What will happen to the sun in 7 billion years?
First in about 5 billion years the sun will run out of fuel in its core and become a red giant as it burns fuel around its core. After that is finished 7 billion years from now the sun will finally die and become a white dwarf.
The sun burns helium to make what other gas?
The sun burns small amounts of helium and when combined with oxygen, the helium makes neon. The sun burns mostly hydrogen.
What element makes up about 75 percent of the sun's mass?
Hydrogen makes up about 75% of the sun's mass. It is the primary fuel source for the sun's nuclear fusion reactions that produce energy.
What forces cause the expansion of the sun as it burns off its fuel?
The expansion of the Sun as it burns off its fuel is primarily driven by the balance between gravitational forces and the pressure generated by nuclear fusion in its core. As hydrogen is converted into helium through fusion, energy is released, creating outward pressure that counteracts gravitational collapse. Over time, as the hydrogen fuel diminishes, the core contracts and heats up, leading to increased fusion rates and causing the outer layers to expand. This process results in the Sun eventually becoming a red giant as it exhausts its hydrogen supply.
What element is sun burning for fuel?
Hydrogen, but its not burning, its fusing.
What element is needed in order that a material burns?
oxygen, fuel, heat
How more many years will the sun runs out of fuel and burns out?
Billions
What element creates the energy that causes the sun to shine?
The element that creates the energy that causes the sun to shine is hydrogen. Through a process called nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms in the sun's core combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
What process is no longer in balance as the fuel burns away on the sun?
As the fuel burns away, the balance between gravity pulling inward and nuclear fusion creating outward pressure is disrupted. This leads to changes in the sun's structure and energy output.
What process is no longer in balance as the sun's fuel burns away?
hydrogen
When fuels burn what element present in the impurities in a fossil fuel may produce sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur is the element present in impurities in fossil fuels that can produce sulfur dioxide when the fuel burns.
How does a sun die?
When it burns out most of the fuel it needs to function and can therefor no longer maintain its own gravitational field.
Why does the sun always burn and not go out?
The sun burns continuously due to nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing a huge amount of energy in the process. This process produces the heat and light that we receive from the sun. As long as there is enough hydrogen fuel in the sun's core, it will continue to burn and emit energy.
How can a sun die if it was never a living thing?
It is just a figure of speech. A Star(sun is also a star) dies when its fuel supply runs out (ie) it burns out.
What element makes up about ten percent of the sun?
The sun consist mainly of hydrogen which makes up about 75% and helium about 25%. Helium is produced in the sun's core as it burns hydrogen. There are smaller amounts of other materials, but these are less than 1%. There is no element which makes up about 10% of the sun.
What will happen to the sun in 7 billion years?
First in about 5 billion years the sun will run out of fuel in its core and become a red giant as it burns fuel around its core. After that is finished 7 billion years from now the sun will finally die and become a white dwarf.
