To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate electricity from nuclear energy through what?
Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.
How many differences are there between a star and planet?
A star is a massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity, primarily fueled by nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Planets, on the other hand, are smaller, non-luminous celestial bodies that orbit stars and do not undergo nuclear fusion. Additionally, planets do not generate their own light but reflect light from the star they orbit.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
Do fusion reactions provide nuclear power?
No, a fission reaction is not necessary to trigger a fusion reaction, but for us on earth, it is. In the field of nuclear weapons, a fission bomb is needed to create the heat necessary to set off a fusion weapon. We have to use fission, or, rather, the energy created by that, to initiate the fusion reaction. It might be possible to use a high power source, like a laser, on a small amount of material to get fusion to occur. But we are still experimenting with this in the Tokamak, and it's far from being a done deal. Stars are, in general, massive nuclear fusion reactors. Their constant consumption of fuel powering their high rate of fusion creates a massive amount of energy, and the stars' huge gravity keeps this process from blowing the whole thing apart. No fission is needed to sustain this reaction.
How does the sun generate energy?
nuclear fusion
How does the nuclear fusion generate energy?

Gaseous planets
What planets are powered by nuclear fusion?
None.
5 How does the Sun generate energy today?
Nuclear Fusion
What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
Why us fusion not used to generate electrical power?
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
Ehat is the difference between stars and planets?
Stars are massive celestial objects primarily composed of hydrogen and helium that generate energy through nuclear fusion. Planets, on the other hand, are smaller celestial bodies that orbit around stars and do not produce their own light. Planets can be rocky, gaseous, or icy, and they do not undergo nuclear fusion like stars do.
Why is the sun not a planet?
The sun is not considered a planet because it is a star, not a celestial body that orbits a star like a planet does. Stars generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets do not generate energy through fusion.
Do jovial planets contain enough mass to produce nuclear fusion?
No, none of the planets are big enough for that
To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate electricity from nuclear energy through what?
Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.
What is the difference between a bioreactor and nuclear reactor?
A nuclear reactor uses either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion to generate electricity, while bio-reactors use the excretions of many animals to generate electricity.
