How far is the nearest neutron star?
The nearest neutron star to us is called an unremarkable PSR J0108-1431. It is located about 424 light years from us in the constellation Cetus.
How long does it take for a ray of light to travel from the nearest star to the earth and what is this star called?
Our Sun is at a distance of 8 light-minutes. The next star outside our Solar System is Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.2 light-years.
What is the last stage of nuclear fusion?
A neutron star is already a dead star it can produce no more energy, although massively dense it will just continue to radiate its energy out into space until there is nothing left. There is an alternative ending for a Neutron Star and that is, if it was a part of a binary system or had enough mass collect on it could collapse further to create a Black Hole.
If 1Cm equals 1 million miles how far to nearest star?
160.73 miles (rounded)
What is the definition of a star as recognized in astronomy?
A star is a spheroidal plasma converting mass into energy by nuclear fusion.
How far away from the sun is the earths nearest star?
There's no such thing as "earth's" star. The nearest star that's not the sun is Proxima Centauri, roughly 4.4 light years away.
Is the sun actually earths nearest star?
Yes, the sun is Earth's nearest star. It is the closest star to our planet, located about 93 million miles away.
Where does all of the earths energy come from?
From a close star called the sun
What happens in the core of the star?
Nuclear fusion does. The nuclei (nucleuses) of 2 or more atoms join into a single nucleus, which releases a comparatively enormous amount of energy. This process is the source of the energy that a star radiates.
Why is sun classified as a star?
Because it is a large mass of gas that radiates its own energy in large quantities by an internal nuclear process.
Which star is nearest to planet Earth?
I'll have to say that Earth's nearest star is the Sun............... I know for sure that mercury's closest star is the Sun ( The Sun is a Star) Yes the nearest star is the sun
How does a star keep shining?
A star shines due to nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. This energy radiates outwards, providing the star with heat and light. This process can last for billions of years until the star exhausts its nuclear fuel.
What is one way in which the sun and planets are different?
They are different because they have different atmospheres to the Sun. The main difference is that the Sun is a star which radiates energy and the planets are cold bodies which do not produce energy.
Why isn't Pluto a star?
A star is a celestial body of hot gases that radiates energy from thermonuclear reactions in its interior. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, a planet being a large celestial body that orbits a star and does not radiate any large amounts of nuclear energy. The star Pluto orbits in the Solar System is our Sun.
Where is some of the light that radiates from a star come from?
I call it star light. Some more erudite folks might refer to it as stellar electromagnetic radiation.
What is a three letter word for the earths star?
