What is the difference between coal and oil and natural gas?

Coal is a solid fossil fuel formed from decayed plants, while oil is a liquid fossil fuel made from decayed marine organisms, and natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel formed in a similar way to oil but with different components. Each fuel has different energy densities, environmental impacts, and uses.


Is Kerosene natural gas?

No, kerosene is not natural gas. Kerosene is a liquid fuel derived from petroleum, while natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel composed mainly of methane. They have different chemical compositions and properties.


What is another name for oil-thick black liquid fossil fuel?

Another name for oil-thick black liquid fossil fuel is "crude oil." It is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Crude oil is extracted from the ground and can be refined into various fuels and other products.


How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?

Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.


Is butane a liquid fossil fuel?

Butane is a hydrocarbon compound found in natural gas and crude oil. Both natural gas and crude oil are fossil fuels. At sufficient pressure and low temperature, it can be a liquid. So in answer to your question, butane is compound that comes from a fossil fuel, and can be both a liquid and a gas depending on the pressure and temperature. Natural gas is mostly methane and ethane, with small amounts of butane and propane, so it is usually stored as a gas phase. Crude oil has many hydrocarbon compounds heavier than butane, so it remains a liquid. See related link.

Is rocket fuel a fossil fuel?

Yes it is a fossil fuel.


Does rockets use fossil fuels?

Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.

How does Liquid Natural Gas work as a fuel?

Natural gas works as a fossil fuel because you BURN it and it turns into heat and energy exactly like a fossil fuel.


What is a fossil fuel in liquid form that is obtained by drilling?

Crude oil is a fossil fuel in liquid form that is obtained by drilling. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons that can be refined to produce various fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
