Does the sun need oxygen to burn?
No, the sun does not burn in the way that we typically think of burning. It undergoes nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. Oxygen is not required for this reaction to occur.
Why cant a match burn on the moon?
A match requires oxygen to burn, and there is no significant amount of oxygen in the moon's atmosphere. Without oxygen, combustion cannot occur.
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
When will the moon burn out?
The moon does not burn out. It reflects light from the sun.
Can the sun melt a diamond on the sun?
No, a diamond would not melt on the sun because diamonds have a very high melting point (over 3500 degrees Celsius) while the surface temperature of the sun is around 5500 degrees Celsius. Diamonds also require oxygen to burn, which is absent on the sun.
