How is lithium formed in stars?
Lithium is formed through the fusion of a hydrogen and a helium ion. This will only occur at very high temperatures and pressures.
Where does fusion take place in the sun?
Around the core of helium that been formed from hydrogen fusion.
Materials of low mass fused together?
This is fusion not fission. In stars like our sun, hydrogen is turned into helium
How energy is produced by the sun?
fusion of hydrogen
Does fusion occur on Earth?
No, there are no recorded situations in which sustainednuclear fusion has been accomplished here on earth. In nuclear weapons, fusion is accomplished only for a split second. And the fusion experiments we're developing are yet incomplete.
Nuclear fusion requires extremely high?
Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, and pressures.Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, and pressures.Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, and pressures.Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures, and pressures.
Does nuclear fusion occur in stars?
Nuclear fusion takes place only in the core of the Sun, or any star. Extremely high energy (temperatures) are required to force atomic nuclei together. The fusion reaction releases heat energy, which continues the fusion of other nuclei.
What is thermo nuclear testing?
Testing of fusion devices. It is called thermonuclear because fusion only happens at very high temperatures. The prefix "thermo" means heat.
How is your sun powered?
The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion which requires extremely high temperatures to happen. Hydrogen is fused into helium releasing incredible amounts of energy which is counteracted by gravity.
What is Coal Fusion?
I think you mean "Cold Fusion" It is the (currently) hypothetical nuclear fusion reaction which happens at ambient temperatures?
What is the temperature which fusion of hydrogen into helium begins?
Fusion requires temperatures about 100 million Kelvin
What kind of nuclear power is responsible for sunshine?
Thermonuclear Fusion - Nuclear fusion brought about by high temperatures
Why isn't fission used as a source of energy on earth?
fission is a better source of energy compared to fusion. However, the process requires extremely high temperatures to overcome the electrostatic forces of the atom. These temperatures (such as 400,000,000 K) are far beyond the threshold for most compounds.
Why does fusion in nature require high temperatures?
Cause i likes to
What generates the high temperatures within the sun?
Nuclear fusion.
Does nuclear fusion occurs at cooler temperatures away from the Sun?
Yes, in Red Dwarf Stars. However, the temperatures required for fusion are still pretty high, millions of degrees Celsius.
How is Nuclear fusion and helium atoms related?
They are related because it is the element most often used in fusion in both the natural and synthesised fusions of the universe. Look up fusion in the sun for more information
