What combines to form helium atoms in a star?
Helium atoms in a star are formed through the process of nuclear fusion. In the core of a star, hydrogen atoms combine through a series of fusion reactions to form helium atoms. This happens when hydrogen atoms collide and fuse together, releasing energy in the process.
What is the process when a star combines two hydrogen atoms to make a helium atom?
3 Helium nuclei combine to form a carbon nucleus,releasing light energy
Does the ratio of Helium atoms to Hydrogen atoms become larger as a star ages?
yes because when a star ages, the star collapses forming new stars which make up more atoms.
What forms when helium nuclei combine?
If the central temperature of a star exceeds 100 million Kelvins, as may happen in the later phase of red giants (stars) and red supergiants, then helium can fuse to form beryllium and then carbon.
What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the suns core?
Normal "main sequence" stars fuse hydrogen into helium during most of the star's life. The core of a star gets so hot that the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse together. As hydrogen only has 1 proton when if fuses with another hydrogen atom it has 2 protons so has become helium.

What happens when a medium star's temperature reaches 200000000 degrees Celsius?
helium atoms fuse to form carbon atoms in the core of the star
What is happening in the interior of a star?
fusion. Hydrogen atoms fuse together deep in the core to form helium atoms and release energy
Is star is born when helium and oxygen combine true or false?
False. A star is born when hydrogen starts to fuse into helium.
Is a star born when helium and oxygen combine?
No. A star is born when hydrogen stars fusing.
What event marks the birth of a star?
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
What event marks a birth of a star?
fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms
What Fuel does a Star burn to create its own energy?
A star will use fusion to combine lighter atoms into heavier atoms. A main-sequence star (that's the majority of stars) will convert hydrogen-1 into helium-4, so in this case, hydrogen-1 is the fuel. Once it starts running out of hydrogen-1, it will start fusing the helium into heavier elements - in which case the main fuel will be the helium-4. Later in the life cycle of a star, the fuel can be even heavier elements.
What is the longest stage in the life cycle of a star?
The main sequence, where the star combines hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms and produce energy, through the process of nuclear fusion. And it also the beginning of a new planet called farshinia
