How does a star fuel itself?

Answer 1

Nuclear fusion, the same reaction that takes place in nuclear warheads, only in conventional warheads it's caused by powerful conventional explosives directed inward to cause heavy elements to fuse together, and in the cores of suns (stars) it is caused by the much more powerful force of the star's gravity.

Answer 2

Stars are mainly made of Hydrogen and Helium. Inside stars, the high temperatures and pressure prevent normal atoms from forming. Instead all the atomic parts are mixed up. The hydrogen nuclei are made of one proton (a positive charge) and Helium is made up of two protons and two neutrons (a charge of zero).

In the very high temperatures, the atoms move around very fast because they have a lot of energy. Sometimes they collide and nothing happens; sometimes they produce a proton-neutron pair. Then they emit two tiny particles and continue moving around very fast.

The proton-neutron pair can then bond with another proton to produce light Helium (one neutron instead of two)

Finally, two of the light helium atoms collide, producing a stable helium atom. The two spare protons break away. This process is called Nuclear Fusion.

Answer 3

A star fuels itself through nuclear fusion in its core. This process involves the fusion of lighter elements, like hydrogen, into heavier elements, like helium, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is what keeps a star shining and prevents it from collapsing under its own gravity.

Answer 4

A typical star starts out with a lot of hydrogen-1. This is the star's fuel, which is gradually converted into helium-4, and in some cases, into heavier elements.
