Does heat produced by nuclear fusion causes stars to glow?
Yes, the heat produced by nuclear fusion in the core of a star is what makes the star glow and emit light and heat. This fusion process converts hydrogen into helium and releases energy in the form of light and heat.
The part of a light bulb that is a poor conductor so that the friction causes it to light up and glow?
The filament inside a light bulb is typically made of tungsten, which is a poor conductor of electricity. When electricity flows through the filament, it encounters resistance, which causes the filament to heat up and emit light.
What is electroluminescence?
A phenomenon that causes certain materials to glow (without getting hot) when electrically excited.
A lamp transforms electrical energy into what?
Mostly heat, but that heat causes a filament to glow, which makes light.
Is the produced from a meteor is produced by nuclear fusion?
No, the light produced from a meteor is not due to nuclear fusion. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere, the friction with air molecules causes it to heat up and glow, resulting in the light we see. This phenomenon is known as "incandescence."
What causes a meteor to shine like a star?
Meteors shine like a star because of the friction with Earth's atmosphere as they travel at high speeds. This causes the meteor to heat up and glow.
Why does a meteroid glow when it enters the earth's atmosphere?
When an object enters (or re-enters) Earth's atmosphere from outer space, the air is heated by the friction of the object's passage. This friction makes the object glow as it heats up. Remember, these things are traveling very fast, perhaps thousands of miles an hour, so the air around them gets heated up quite a bit. Space capsules and such have to have very good heat insulation on them or they'd burn up on re-entry.
What is a small meteroid that burns up Earth's atmosphere?
A small meteoroid that burns up in Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. As it enters the Earth's atmosphere, the friction with the air causes it to heat up and glow, creating a streak of light known as a "shooting star."
Why do things in space travel so fast?
Because there is no air - which would normally create friction and slow the object down. It's the friction of the amtosphere, combined with asteroids speed which causes them to glow as they come close to the Earth.
What makes watch face glow?
hi how you get back your face glow
Are glowsticks toxic and what causes them to glow?
Chemo Luminescence makes a glowstick glow the way it does. It is safe for little children as long as they don't bend them or break them open. They should wash their hands immediately if they get any one their skin.
Property of the filament that makes it light up when electricity flows through it?
Incandescence. The filament is heated by the electricity moving through it, this causes the filament to heat up, and the heat causes the familiar glow.
How does a glow worm produce electricity?
a glow worm produces electric energy from its glow. The friction creates a pathway to its glow that makes it be electric. It also has been updated to be one of the most glowest worms in the world.
Why does skin glow under a black light?
Skin may appear to glow under a black light because the ultraviolet (UV) light causes certain compounds in the skin, like proteins and oils, to fluoresce. This fluorescence makes the skin appear to emit a glow when exposed to the light.
Do glow worms have a light source of their own?
yes actually glow worms have a chemical reaction in their behind and this causes a glow this glow attracts other insects towards the glow worms so that they can eat them
What is the name of the substance that makes a glow stick glow?
The substance that makes a glow stick glow is called a chemical dye or phosphor. This substance is contained within the plastic tube of the glow stick and reacts with other chemicals inside the stick to produce the glowing effect when activated.
How meteors occur?
Small particles of rock or dust slam into a planet's atmosphere. Friction against the atmosphere creates immense heat which causes air hit by the meteoroid to glow. Soon after, the meteor disintegrates or lands.
