How do stars produce larger atoms?

they have a big gland in the middle and it makes more atom


Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?

Helium atoms


How star Gemini lives?

Gemini is not a single star but a constellation. Each of the stars in Gemini "lives" through thermonuclear fusion. Atoms of small nucleii are fused together to produce atoms of larger nucleii while releasing energy.


Are hydrogen or oxygen atoms used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion?

Hydrogen.


Do stars produce light?

Yes. The sun is one of many stars, and there are even larger stars than the sun. Our sun is just an average star.


How does nuclear fusion create elements inside stars?

Nuclei of small atoms fuse together to form nuclei of larger atoms. The process can continue to form larger atoms until, after iron, the fusion is no longer exothermic and so absorbs energy.


Why can nuclei of carbon oxygen and iron be found in stars?

Nuclear fusion between nuclei of smaller atoms forms the nuclei of larger atoms and releases energy.


What is the process called that takes place at the center of the stars?

Nuclear fusion; the merger of small atoms into larger ones.


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.


How do atoms make stars burn?

The enormous heat and pressure at the center of a star causes atoms to fuse together, releasing enormous amounts of energy. Most stars fuse hydrogen, but larger stars that have exhausted the hydrogen in their cores may fuse heavy elements.


What keeps the sun on fire?

The sun produce energy when it converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms in the core of the sun. This process will go on for as long as there is enough hydrogen to convert. In some larger stars, the process can also stop if the pressure of the converted atoms become too high. In this case, the sun may explode from the pressure itself into a super nova.


What makes gold metal?

Stars may only produce atoms as heavy as iron. To make gold, a supernova must happen.
