explain how stars generate heat and light energy.?

Answer 1

Most stars use fusion -- the merging of smaller nuclei into larger nuclei, with a tremendous release of energy that is converted to light and heat.

Our sun fuses hydrogen nuclei into helium -- the same process as is active in the hydrogen bomb.

Answer 2

Well, on the stars it is pretty bright and all. So they don't need electric lights and stuff like we have because it is so bright there.

At night, everyone on the whole star planet finally gets a chance to eat supper in peace. So they all light up their little sterno stoves to cook meals, and stay warm. I think that they mostly have heat in the day. It gets cold there at night just like it does here.

You know how you only see the stars at night? Well, that is when they are cooking supper. You can see their stoves really good then.

Stars give off a kind of dirt that is called Dust. Now I have heard lots of stories about Star Dust and I am not realy sure about some of 'em. But I know for sure that there is this great big Vacuum out there that sucks up all the bad Star Dust, and junky stuff. I think it works just like my mother's vacuum. So the Stars are pretty clean places to visit and all. I am going to try and go there when I get big.

Star heat comes from the sterno stoves the Star People probably bought at Star Surplus Stores, just like Ricky and me did. Man, there is nothing cooler than a sterno stove. You know mine folds flat and I can stick it in my back pocket. Do any of your friends have sterno stoves?
They are so neat.

Answer 3

The mechanism in Sun in our nearest star is fusion of h2 atoms to form Helium. The resultant energy generated is the cause of heat and light energy.Most stars use the same mechanism.

Answer 4

The shear mass of a star forces enormous amounts of pressure and heat inward upon its core. There is an equal amount of pressure pushing outward from the fusion of hydrogen at the center of a star. At the core hydroden is fused into helium. This is the normal process for a stable star.

Answer 5

I don't believe it is a hydrogen to helium conversion as is taught in schools today. It appears the force of gravity is the agency that causes a large mass to remain heated, becoming a sun.

Were you to consider the acceleration of a mass within our sun that is 400 miles from its very center, you shall find that the mass would accelerate beyond the speed of light in one second, if it were able to be released in that location and free to fall. Within our planet the distance is 0.716 miles from its center.

What this indicates is that there is a great deal of mass compression toward the center of the sun as the outer diameter of its mass becomes squeezed to the size of mass at the 400 mile location within its interior. Our sun expends 665 lbs/sec of mass in form of gravitational waves. Our planet 0.00444 kg/sec. This indicates there is a continual compression of mass in order for the gravitational condition of forming gravitons to exist. This idea of gravity compression was expressed by Von Helmholtz many years ago.

Answer 6

Most stars have deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and normal hydrogen cores and this hydrogen undergo fusion reaction to produce helium accompanies by tremendous heat and light.

Answer 7

Do your own homework!

Why don't you try googling "star" "energy" "heat" "fusion"?

Lazy

Dave, you really think she understood a word you said?

Answer 8

Research about the Sun... the sun is a star

Answer 9

Stop using this for homework answers!

Answer 10

no. do your own homework!
when you grow up are you going to ask me to go to work for you too? and will i get to keep your paycheck as well?
