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 do planets differ from a star?
Planets differ from stars primarily in their composition and processes. Stars, like the Sun, generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, producing light and heat, while planets do not undergo this process and instead reflect light from stars. Additionally, stars are often much larger and more massive than planets, which can orbit them. Planets are usually solid, gaseous, or icy bodies that can have atmospheres, but they lack the self-sustaining fusion that defines stars.
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.
How does the nuclear fusion generate energy?
The Sun energy is from hydrogen fusion.
How does the sun generate energy?

What is formed from nuclear fusion?
Gaseous planets
What planets are powered by nuclear fusion?
None.
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.
5 How does the Sun generate energy today?
Nuclear Fusion
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 us fusion not used to generate electrical power?
Today nuclear fusion is not controlled at industry scale.
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.
