How is the sun related to the weather?
Basically, nuclear fusion. The gravitational pull of the sun is so great that the electrons of the Hydrogen atoms get so energized that they pretty much abandon their protons and the protons can mash together to create other elements, like Helium. A very good article is in the link below. One theory also contends that Hydrogen is the only original element of the universe, and all the heavier elements were created in various and recurring fusion reactions.
How hot does water need to be to boil?
On the Celsius scale and at Sea level, water boils at 100 degrees.While it is boiling the temperature of the water remaining in the container will stay at 100 degrees no matter how hot you make the fire.
What is the hottest thing on the surface earth?
The hottest natural occurring temperature on earth is most probably reached in lightnings, bearing 54,000 °F (30,000 °C) or even more. This is the highest temperature measured except taking gamma-photons from radioactive processes into consideration. The latter (e+-e--annihilation, 511keV) would correspond to (roughly) 1,100×106 °F (1.1 billion Fahrenheit, or 600×106 °C) (when applying Wien's displacement law). The hottest artificial temperature was probably reached by the "z machine" (an x-ray generator) in Sandia National Laboratories, which generated a higher temperature than in the core of the sun. The core of the sun is about 27×106 °F (27 million Fahrenheit, or 15×106 °C). The "z machine" reached 6,600×106 °F (6,600 million Fahrenheit, or 6.6 billion Fahrenheit, or 3.7×109 °C)
Can helium be compressed?
no, it can not be compressed.
What is californium's natural state of matter?
Californium does not occur naturally. It is produced as a result of nuclear explosions and nuclear experiments.
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the Suns core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
For nuclear fusion.
What is the average temperature of the sun?
The temperature varies on different parts of the Sun. For rexample, the visible part (photosphere) has a temperature of almost 6000 degrees Celsius, while the nucleus is estimated to be 15 or 16 million degrees.
At what temperature do star begin the process of nuclear fusion?
Between 10 and 15 million degrees.
What temperature does nuclear fusion happen for a star?
A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.A few million degrees - up to a billion or so, in a supernova.
How hot is a nova?
The corresponding white dwarf needs to reach a temperature for nuclear fusion to occur, which is about 20 million degrees kelvin.
What is the Fahrenheit temperature of a nuclear weapon?
About 180 million degrees Fahrenheit upon detonation, which is some 10,000 times hotter than the surface of the sun.
What temperature does hydrogen turn into helium?
10 million degrees with a football field worth of hydrogen under a lot of pressure the process is called nuclear fusion
What happens at 100 million degrees kelvin?
You get Nuclear Fusion, which produces an enormous amount of energy. The center of the sun, for example, is near 20 million degrees Kelvin
At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the sun's core is high enough for nuclear what to occur?
Actually, it is not. The Sun's core is about 28,000,000°F, but it needs to be at least 100 million to undergo nuclear fusion. There are some factors that fusion can occur there. One is density and pressure. The amount of pressure overturns the weak nuclear force which is the force that resists atoms from fusing. Another process known as quantum tunneling provides a sort of "barrier" that helps overcome the weak force and helps force the atoms to fuse.
What is a nuclear furnace?
The sun is a mass, Of incandescent gas, A gigantic nuclear furnace, Where hydrogen is built Into Helium, At a temperature of millions of degrees.
Is the outside of the sun hotter than the inside of the sun?
Yes. The inside of the sun is hotter. The energy that powers the sun originates from nuclear fusion in its core, which is heated to about 25 million degrees. By contrast at the surface the sun has a temperature of about ten thousand degrees.
What happened when the suns core got to 1 million degrees?
Nothing, it just got a little hotter. For nuclear fusion to occur it had to reach 10 million degrees kelvin.
