Which of these develop when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to ignite nuclear fusion?
Stars develop when gravity pulls gas and dust together with enough pressure to ignite nuclear fusion. This process starts in the core of the collapsing cloud, where the temperature and pressure become high enough for nuclear reactions to occur, initiating the star's life cycle.
Can the moon produce light through internal nuclear combustion?
No. The moon does not produce any light of its own. It only reflects light from the sun. It does not have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion, nor is it of the right composition. Finally, nuclear fusion and combustion are two completely different processes.
Can the sun burn anything?
The sun emits heat and light, which can cause objects to heat up and potentially ignite if the conditions are right. However, the sun does not burn like a fire, as it is a giant nuclear fusion reactor that gives off energy through nuclear processes. So, while the sun can cause things to burn, it doesn't "burn" them in the traditional sense.
What force is most responsible for the formation of a star?
Gravity is the most responsible force for the formation of a star. As a cloud of gas and dust contracts due to gravity, the material in the core becomes dense and hot enough to ignite nuclear fusion, leading to the birth of a star.
Stars are able to form from clouds of dust and gas because of?
the force of gravity pulling the dust and gas together. As these particles are pulled closer, they heat up and eventually ignite nuclear fusion at the core, leading to the formation of a star.
Why are lower mass stars unable to ignite more massive nuclear fuels such as carbon'?
Low-mass stars have little gravitational energy, so when they contract, they don't get very hot.
Could you ignite Neptune and create a small sun?
No, it is not possible to ignite Neptune to create a small sun. Neptune is a gas giant planet, primarily made of hydrogen and helium, while a sun is a massive star that undergoes nuclear fusion producing light and heat. The size and composition of Neptune are not conducive to creating a star.
Can you ignite a fire with carbon and oxygen?
Yes, you can ignite a fire with carbon and oxygen. When carbon combines with oxygen in the presence of heat, a chemical reaction occurs, producing carbon dioxide and releasing energy in the form of heat and light, resulting in a flame.
Why can't a planet be a star?
A planet does not have enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion.
What would happen if you ignite a nuclear bomb in a volcano?
You get a rather large explosion.
Could Jupiter ignite and become a star?
No, Jupiter cannot ignite and become a star. It does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion like a star.
How do hydrocarbons ignite?
Hydrocarbons react with oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
Why are thermonuclear bombs are more disastrous than nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs use nuclear fission of some heavy element, usually uranium or plutonium. Thermonuclear bombs use the detonation of a fission bomb to ignite the fusion of hydrogen. Such weapons are more powerful than ordinary nuclear weapons because nuclear fusion releases more energy than nuclear fission, and because the process of fusion itself can be used to ignite more fission.
Which fractions will ignite more easily short carbon chains or long carbon chains?
Short carbon chains will ignite more easily than long carbon chains. Short carbon chains have lower molecular weights and are more volatile, allowing them to vaporize and ignite quickly. Additionally, shorter chains have higher surface areas, promoting faster combustion.
The first stars formed in clouds of?
The first stars formed in clouds of predominantly hydrogen and helium gas. These clouds were massive and dense, collapsing under their own gravity to ignite nuclear fusion in their cores, marking the birth of the first generation of stars in the universe.
Could a planet become a star?
To ignite nuclear fusion, a certain temperature is required; and this, in turn, requires a certain mass. A large planet (or more precisely, a massive planet) could become a star if it acquires additional mass. Note that there is an intermediate stage, the brown dwarf - which is basically an object that is massive enough for the fusion of deuterium (hydrogen-2), but not massive enough to fuse regular hydrogen (hydrogen-1). Deuterium is much rarer than the regular hydrogen.
Is graphite flammable?
Graphite is not flammable because it is a form of carbon that does not easily react with oxygen to ignite or burn.
