What are the different flavors of neutrinos and how do they differ from each other?
Neutrinos come in three flavors: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos, and tau neutrinos. These flavors are distinguished by the type of charged lepton they are associated with - electron, muon, or tau. Neutrinos can change between these flavors through a process called neutrino oscillation, which is a unique property of neutrinos.
Why plasma not part of graviton or neutrinos?
Plasma is a state of matter consisting of ionized particles, so it is not a fundamental particle like the graviton or neutrinos. Gravitons are hypothetical elementary particles that mediate the force of gravity, while neutrinos are neutral subatomic particles with a tiny amount of mass. Plasma interacts with gravitons and neutrinos through gravitational and weak nuclear forces, respectively.
How do scientist trap neutrinos?
Scientists trap neutrinos using large detectors placed deep underground to shield them from other particles. Neutrinos interact very weakly, so detectors must be very massive to have a chance of capturing a few neutrino interactions. Neutrino detectors such as Super-Kamiokande in Japan and IceCube at the South Pole are examples of facilities that can catch neutrinos.
Can neutrinos travel faster than light?
No, neutrinos cannot travel faster than light.
Why does the sun emit neutrinos?
The sun emits neutrinos as a byproduct of nuclear fusion reactions happening in its core. These reactions produce high-energy particles, including neutrinos, which are released into space.
Astronomers are interested in solar neutrinos because neutrinos carry with them information about?
The nuclear reactions going on in the heart of the Sun.
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 are people interested in?
these days people are interested in electronics mostly but really people are interested in so many things each have their taste of things =]
Does the number of neutrinos in an object affect its charge?
No, neutrinos have no charge so they neither take away nor add to the existing charge
Why do you think people were so interested in seeing Hookes drawings?
Why do you think people were so interested in seeing Hooke's drawing?
What is a solar neutrinos?
Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.

How do measurements of neutrinos from the sun pose a problem for modern astronomy?
At present, no problems. 15 years ago, scientists had no explanation for the small number of solar neutrinos detected at our Earth. Either we didn't understand neutrino formation in our Sun, our detectors were wrong, or neutrinos had the capacity to decay. The latter seemed to be the least likely possibility, so scientists argued for many years which of the first two was correct. In 1998 it was discovered that neutrinos do, indeed, decay into other neutrinos. The reason we weren't seeing as many neutrinos as we expected was because the ones we were expecting to see had decayed into other types. So the solar neutrino problem is no longer a problem.
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.
