Does oxygen atoms burn when they are in a compound with hydrogen?
When oxygen fuses with hydrogen it burns in the sun. Of course just think of the sun dummy. When oxygen fuses with hydrogen it burns in the sun. Of course just think of the sun dummy.
Why does the sun continuously burn?
It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.
Is there oxogyn on the sun?
There is small portion of oxygen about 0.77% in the Sun. Additional tip for clarification: Sun didn't burn with oxygen, this ball of fire burn from nuclear fusion reaction.
What does a red dwarf sun burn?
Like all main sequence stars, a red dwarf is powered by the fusion of hydrogen into helium.
What process causes the Sun to continually burn?
The sun does not burn in the classical sense. The sun is so massive that, at its center, matter is compressed with such force hard that Hydrogen atoms fuse together to form Helium atoms. This fusion process liberates a great deal of energy, which escapes as light.
Is the oxygen sufficient for burning of hydrogen on the sun?
No. The hydrogen on the Sun does not burn; it fuses to make helium instead.
What are the gases that burn in the sun?
it is made of mostly hydrogen and helium
What does the sun burn to make it hot?
hydrogen wow, right? o_0

Why will the sun burn out?
The sun generates energy by fusing hydrogen into helium. Eventually it will run out of hydrogen. However, this won't happen for several billion years.
Does the sun need oxygen to burn?
No, the sun does not burn in the way that we typically think of burning. It undergoes nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. Oxygen is not required for this reaction to occur.
What chemical does the sun burn?
The sun does not "burn" a specific chemical, rather it goes through a process called nuclear fusion where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
How will the sun burn out?
In a sense. The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen into helium in its core. In about 5 billion years that hydrogen will burn out. Over the following two billion years the sun will fuse helium in the core and hydrogen in a surrounding shell before shedding its outer remnants and leaving behind a degenerate remnant called a white dwarf.
Does the sun burn propane to make butane?
No. The Sun doesn't "burn" anything; it fuses hydrogen to create helium, and vast quantities of energy. Propane is what powers your gas barbecue. The Sun is powered by nuclear explosions.
How does the sun don't burn from its heat?
The sun does burn in a way, but not in the way you are thinking of. Nuclear fusion occurs in the sun which means that the gravitational forces of such a massive body force hydrogen atoms together, to produce helium. Helium is less massive than hydrogen and the lost mass is converted to energy, E=mc^2. That energy is radiated out in the electromagnetic spectrum which is what reaches us on Earth. The sun is basically a big ball of burning plasma, so it does burn itself but the products of this 'burning' are then burned in turn. Hydrogen to helium to carbon at which out sun is not massive enough to have enough gravitational force to burn so that will cause our sun to die.
Will thew sun burn out?
The sun is using up its supply of hydrogen because the hydrogen atoms are being converted into helium atoms. Only seven tenths of one percent of the available hydrogen actually converts into heat energy, and the best estimate is that it will take another one hundred billion years for all the hydrogen to be used up. So, at the end of one hundred billion years, the sun will, in fact, burn out.
How much hyrogen does the sun burn in a day?
The Sun burns approximately 600 million tons of hydrogen per second. This equates to about 4.3 billion tons of hydrogen burned in a single day.
