Thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen occurs during the red giant phase. Helium to carbon fusion, or dredge up, also occurs at this time.
Helium is converted into carbon during the final stage of fusion in a star called a red giant. This process occurs when helium fusion in the core of the star gives rise to carbon as the result of nuclear reactions.
All red giant stars will start helium fusion when their core is compressed.
Yes, Dubhe is a main-sequence star. It is a type A0V star, which means it is a hot, blue-white star that is fusing hydrogen into helium in its core. Main-sequence stars like Dubhe are in the stable phase of their life cycle, where they generate energy through nuclear fusion.
The primary atomic reaction that occurs on the sun is nuclear fusion, specifically the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
When a red giant loses its outer layer and the core shrinks, it can form a white dwarf. White dwarfs are dense, Earth-sized remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel.
Thermonuclear fusion is still going on in the core of a red giant, but it is a different type of thermonuclear fusion. The center of the core has reached high enough temperature and pressure that it can now burn helium, producing carbon. 3 4He --> 12C The large amount of energy released by this type of fusion pushes the outer layers away, making a giant star. The expansion of volume of the surface layer causes it to cool, appearing red. Thus a red giant.

A Lunar eclipse occurs only when the moon is in its full moon phase.
A fusion reaction.
It is a star that has entered the super-giant phase. Its stellar classification is K2 1b.
Helium fuses into carbon as the final stage in the life cycle of intermediate-mass stars, typically those with a mass between 0.8 to 8 times that of the Sun. This process occurs during the core helium burning phase when the star has exhausted its hydrogen fuel and evolved off the main sequence.
helium capture
As a G-type star fuses its hydrogen to helium, this helium will gather in the core. As a result, the core will contract under its own weight as hydrogen is being spent. The contraction causes an increased hydrogen fusion rate, increasing the temperature. When insufficient hydrogen remains in the core, the layers above are no longer supported by the outward pressure of radiation, and collapse on top of the core, causing it to contract further, and also initiating hydrogen fusion outside the core. At this point, the star leaves the main sequence, and becomes a red giant. At this stage, the core of the giant may reach critical density for helium fusion to initiate. Since the core is composed of mostly degenerate matter at this stage, there is no regulation of the fusion rate. Also, degenerate matter is less opaque to the energies produced than non-degenerate matter, so conducts them better.Ehr, to summarize: the helium flash occurs during the red giant stage of G-type stars.
The sun will swell into a red giant star during its helium fusion stage. This stage occurs when the core contracts and heats up, causing the outer layers to expand and cool, giving the star its red appearance.
This physical change is called freezing.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which is characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor forming in the liquid phase.
This depends on the type of sample.
