What else can I help you with?
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.
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Does combustion fuel the sun?
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
Does the sun release smoke?
No. Smoke is a mixture of products of combustion, which is a chemical reaction. The "burning" that takes place in the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, which is a completely different process.
What is the chemical combustion of the sun?
The sun undergoes nuclear fusion, not chemical combustion. In its core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the sun and makes it shine.
Which two energy sources can help a star maintain its internal thermal pressure?
Nuclear fusion and radiation pressure are the two energy sources that help a star maintain its internal thermal pressure. Nuclear fusion in the star's core generates heat and energy, while radiation pressure from the intense photons produced by fusion counteracts the gravitational forces trying to collapse the star.
Does sun do combustion?
No, the sun does not undergo combustion. Combustion is a chemical reaction that typically involves oxygen and a fuel source, leading to the release of heat and light. The sun generates energy through nuclear fusion, the process in which hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
What gas giant has nuclear fusion on it?
None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)
What Processes depend on fusion Check all that apply. A.energy production in the sun B.energy production in nuclear reactors C.the hydrogen bomb D.energy production from fuel cells?
It's A and C. The sun and most other stars are fusion reaction engines, and hydrogen bomb (perhaps more properly a fusion nuclear weapon) apply nuclear fusion to do what they do.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Does the sun have oxygen to support combustion?
No. The sun is about 1% oxygen but it does not carry out combustion. It is instead powered by nuclear fusion.
How can a star be a flaming ball of flame if there is no oxygen in space?
The "burning" that takes place in a star is not the burning we are familiar with, which is called combustion. Stars instead powered by nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen atoms fuse with one another to form helium. Nuclear fusion is millions of times more efficient than combustion.
