Neutrinos are a product of beta decay. Some number of protons and some number of neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom. When a neutron decays, it turns into a proton, an electron and a neutrino. The protons stays in the nucleus, while the electron and the neutrino escape.

Why type of radiation has the highest penetrating ability?
Neutrinos.
Which particles are the least attracted to each other?
neutrinos.
What is a byproduct caused by friction?
Heat is a byproduct of friction; that's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer!
Which three subatomic particles are the lightest?
Examples: photons, gluons, neutrinos.
What is a neutrally charged subatomic particle?
You're most likely asking about the neutron. However, there are others, like neutrinos (all three types), pions, kaons, eta mesons, as well as the sigma, the lambda, and the xi particles
What is a solar neutrinos?
Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.
Is the sun producing the expected amount of neutrinos?
Because gravity overcomes electron degeneracy pressure and the electrons are forced into the nuclei. When the electrons enter the nucleus they merge with the protons emitting neutrinos. The nuclei then merge leaving a neutron star held up by neutron degeneracy pressure or gravity makes it collapse to a black hole.
Can neutrinos change into other types of neutrinos?
Yes; the scienific terminology for this phenomenon is "neutrino oscillation". Neutrinos exist in three different flavours - electron, muon and tao neutrinos, listed in order of increasing mass (each also has an antiparticle). Although it is not know why this is the case, it was originally discovered that neutrinos oscillate when examining the neutrinos emitted by the sun; although primarily electron neutrinos are emitted as a result of the fusion process within the sun, the quantities of the different flavours of neutrinos detected on Earth from the sun are in roughly equal proportions.
What are the uses of neutrino?
Neutrinos are similar to electrons, but are different, in that neutrinos do not carry electric charges.
What can affect growth?
what can effect your plant growth is the neutrinos. If you have a lot of neutrinos your plant can grow rapidly.
Explanation of missing solar neutrinos?
Neutrinos are incredibly hard to detect so the "absence" of neutrinos doesn't mean they are not there. It was long thought that neutrinos did not decay. We now know they do so. Thus, the lower than expected number of neutrinos detected coming from the Sun has been fully explained. It took four decades but the problem is now fully resolved.
What can affect plant growth?
what can effect your plant growth is the neutrinos. If you have a lot of neutrinos your plant can grow rapidly.
Are neutrinos mediated by electromagnetic interaction?
No, neutrinos are mediated by weak interactions, Photons are mediated by electromagnetic interactions.
What can penetrate the sun?
Neutrinos.
Astronomers are interested in solar neutrinos because neutrinos carry with them information about?
The nuclear reactions going on in the heart of the Sun.
Does hydrogen have a byproduct?
Yes, the only byproduct of hydrogen is water.
What is a benefit of hydrogen fuel cell that its byproduct is?
Its byproduct is water.
