The high temperatures produced by the explosion of a fission bomb are necessary for initiating the fusion reaction in a thermonuclear device because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged nuclei. The fission explosion provides the energy needed to achieve these conditions, thereby allowing the fusion reaction to take place.

What is the energy output of a supernova explosion?

The energy output of a supernova explosion is equivalent to the energy produced by the sun over its entire lifetime.


Is a solar prominence a thermonuclear reaction?

No, a solar prominence is not a thermonuclear reaction. Solar prominences are large, bright features extending outward from the Sun's surface due to magnetic activity. Thermonuclear reactions, on the other hand, occur in the Sun's core where hydrogen atoms are fused into helium, releasing energy in the process.


How many decibels might be produced by an explosive charge?

Depends on the size of the explosion.


Is energy produced in the sun's core?

By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen, producing helium. The same process that produces the energy in a hydrogen bomb (although the sun fuses far more hydrogen in the same period of time than the largest hydrogen bomb ever speculated would fuse during its entire explosion, thus producing more energy than such a bomb).


How is energy produced in sun core?

By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen, producing helium. The same process that produces the energy in a hydrogen bomb (although the sun fuses far more hydrogen in the same period of time than the largest hydrogen bomb ever speculated would fuse during its entire explosion, thus producing more energy than such a bomb).


What relatively recent addition to the table does not occur naturally it was discovered in the all-burnt-up debris analyzed from the first h-bomb explosion?

The element is einsteinium, with the atomic number 99. It was first discovered in the debris of the first thermonuclear test, Ivy Mike, in 1952. Einsteinium does not occur in nature and is typically produced by bombarding plutonium or uranium with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
