Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
What process gives the sun its energy?
Fusion at the core of the sun is the process that gives the sun its energy. Fusion is the same process found in the explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
How is energy produced in the suns 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 powerful is the sun's heat?
very powerful, so powerful that it could kill you!
What is a catchy nuclear power slogan?
nuclear energy is the sun not a bomb
How did the nuclear bomb work?
I would recommend reading Richard Rhodes books: The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun.
Whats stonger a volcano eruption or a nuclear bomb?
A super nova from a star/sun
Why does the sun create more heat than a nuclear bomb or nuclear reactor?
Because of the size of the sun, there is not enough chemicals on earth to compare to what the sun holds, besides no one has ever gone to the sun to do research on it.
How is light generated from the sun?
By nuclear explosions in the earth's core that cause chemical reactions, basically the sun is one big bomb!
What causes a nuclear bomb?
I recommend reading Richard Rhodes books:The Making of the Atomic BombDark Sun
How is a nuclear bomb created?
The full details are too long to put here, I suggest reading Richard Rhodes books: The Making of the Atomic Bomb; and Dark Sun.
How was a nuclear bomb built?
I suggest reading Richard Rhodes books: The Making Of The Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun. They can explain it more clearly than can be done here.
What Processes depend on fusion Check all that apply. A.energy production in the sun B.energy production in nuclear reactors C.the hydrogen bomb D.energy production from fuel cells?
It's A and C. The sun and most other stars are fusion reaction engines, and hydrogen bomb (perhaps more properly a fusion nuclear weapon) apply nuclear fusion to do what they do.
Nuclear fusion to nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion is the phenomenon in which two lighter nuclei get fused to form heavier nucleus with the production of energy. Best example is SUN and hydrogen bomb. But nuclear fission of breaking heavier into lighter with the emission of energy. Example uranium-235. So atom bomb Nuclear fusion has clean energy but fission has hazard energy
What is nuclear energy examples?
Mainly:Nuclear power plantsAtomic bombsradioisotopes and radiotracers used in medicine, industry, and agriculturenuclear submarinesnuclear research reactorsnuclear fusion research
Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring?
The only place in which nuclear FUSION takes place is in stars (the sun included), and in the detonation of a hyndrogen bomb. If you are asking about nuclear FISSION (an entirely different process), restate the question.
