Why can't massive stars generate energy from iron fusion?

Massive stars cannot generate energy from iron fusion because iron fusion does not release energy, rather it absorbs energy. Iron is the most stable element, and fusion of iron requires more energy than it produces, making it an unfavorable process for generating energy in stars. This leads to the collapse of the star's core and triggers a supernova explosion.


What is the name of the process that converts hydrogen into helium resulting in large amounts of energy within stars?

The process that converts hydrogen into helium within stars, resulting in the release of large amounts of energy, is called nuclear fusion. In the core of stars, hydrogen nuclei fuse under extreme temperature and pressure conditions, producing helium and releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is what powers stars and enables them to shine for billions of years.


Where do all-stars including your sun get their energy from?

Stars get their energy from the nuclear fusion of (primarily) hydrogen into helium, causing a release of binding energy, manifest as thermal energy, light, and radiation in several different forms.


What is a violent expansion of gases and release of energy resulting from a rapid chemical reaction?

An explosion is a violent expansion of gases and release of energy that occurs when there is a rapid chemical reaction. This sudden release of energy can cause damage to the surrounding area and can be dangerous to those nearby.

What happens when stars collide?

They become bound together as they orbit one another. As they orbit they disturb they space around them, and create waves of energy, and that energy slows them down, which in hand pull them closer to each other. The closer they are the faster they spin, this rotation could be a 1000 times per sec. When the two stars are about to hit, they are moving at the speed of light. This will cause an release of energy of great magnitudes. That is two neutron stars, this does not go for all the different type of stars

Does an asteroid belt have a source of energy?

Asteroid belts do not have a source of energy in the same way that planets or stars do. However, asteroids in the belt can gain energy from sunlight, which can cause them to rotate or move within the belt. Additionally, collisions between asteroids can also release energy.


How do star use energy?

Stars fuse hydrogen through nuclear fusion into helium and release the massive resulting energy into space.

What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?

The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
