How did early scientists think that the sun produces its energy?

Early scientists thought that the sun produced its energy through gravitational contraction, but this theory was later disproven by the discovery of nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion, a process where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium with the release of energy, is now known to be the main source of the sun's energy.


How did later scientists think the sun made energy?

Later scientists, particularly in the 20th century, discovered that the Sun produces energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing massive amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.


What did the scientist of centuries ago believe was the fuel for the Sun.Why did they think this?

Scientists centuries ago believed that a nuclear reaction which was very large would be capable of producing the energy of the sun, they thought this because when they experimented with nuclear reactions and measuring the energy produced the reaction of coal not burning long without being consumed.


How do scientists think about rainbows?

Scientists can learn a large amount of information about light from rainbows.


Why do scientists think these asteroids are there?

Scientists believe asteroids are remnants from the early solar system, leftover building blocks that never coalesced into planets. Their presence offers insights into the conditions and processes that existed during the formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Additionally, studying asteroids can help us understand the distribution of materials in the early solar system and the potential for resources in space exploration.

Who are the scientists working on matter and energy?

I suppose that you think to physicists.


What human trait do scientists think early man had first?

I think it is ability to make tools


Why are scientists concerned about conserving energy?

scientists are concerned about conserving energy because one day our non renewable energy might get extinct and they need to think of another energy that might work.


Is potential energy a renewable source?

no it is not. i think...


Why do scientists think you should develop the use of renewable sources of energy?

Fossil fuels, our primary source of power, will someday run out. As a result, we need to develop other, possibly safer alternatives.


Why do scientists think that Europa might have the conditions for life to develop?

As far was we know the development requires water in its liquid for to be present and a source of energy to supply/drive chemical reactions. We know that deep down Europa has a liquid layer (of water) and the geysers of this water into space proves that there is energy in Europa's core.
