If the earth was that old why arent the moltem mass of stars reduced to same state as Earth?

Answer 1

The reason a sun or star is as they appear is due to the mass they possess. If a planetary body has enough mass to create enough pressure and heat to start the fusion process, then it is a sun/star. The amount of mass will determine the type or physical characteristics of the sun as well as the life span of the star. An example of a planet that we are familiar with being on the verge of a star would be Jupiter. It is a gas giant and that would be a candidate for a star/sun but falls short of sufficient mass for a sun. The earth stated out as a molten mass and cooled off and through differential erosion caused by aeolian, and hydrological forces as well as and plate tectonics, created the earth we know today. plate tectonics caused vulcanism and orogenic events, helping to create an atmosphere and build mountain ranges.

Answer 2

I'm really not sure what you're getting at here. For one thing, in order to maintain the fusion chain reaction of a star, a certain critical (minimum) amount of mass is needed. So all main-group stars are much bigger than Earth, since Earth is way below that critical mass.

Answer 3

Stars are, by definition, undergoing fusion reactions. This is where mass is converted to energy. You need a critical mass to reach enough force to cause such fusion reactions. The earth is too small to have fusion reactions at the center, whereas stars are far, far larger.

And if you doubt the idea of fusion, please look into the hydrogen bomb. If you doubt the idea of conversion of mass to energy, look at Hiroshima or Nagasaki. This is all well-established, reproduced, and can be directly examined.

Answer 4

I haven't the vaguest idea what you are asking.

If the earth were *what* old?
Why would age have anything to do with *moltem mass* (I'll assume you mean molten?)

Why would a star be "reduced to the same state* as a planet?

Your question makes zero sense. Sorry.

Answer 5

First of all, if the Earth was how old? Second, stars aren't molten, they are burning gas. Earth is a solidified form of dust and debris found in the creation of a solar system. This is also the same mass that makes up asteroids and other such objects.

Answer 6

The earth and stars are made out of the same elements but in different proportions. The sun is mainly hydrogen and helium that they call plasma. Most of the earth is molten on its interior and made from liquid iron and nickel its the exposed crust which is cooler and contains a small proportion of 8 other elements; oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium,sodium, potassium, magnesium

Answer 7

actually the earth is pretty young as far a planets go, and i really don't understand what your asking.
