The sun heats up due to nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms are fused into helium releasing huge amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. The intense pressure and temperature in the core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur, leading to the sun's heat generation.

What dries up in the sun?
Water, clothes, and wet paint can all dry up in the sun due to the evaporation process caused by the heat and light from the sunlight.
Will aluminum heat up in the sun?
Yes, aluminum will heat up in the sun as it absorbs and retains heat well. Its thermal conductivity allows it to quickly raise in temperature when exposed to sunlight.
What type of heat will occur between the Sun and a lizard basking in the sun?
The heat between the Sun and a lizard basking in the sun is primarily radiant heat. The lizard absorbs the Sun's electromagnetic radiation, converting it into heat energy to warm its body.
After the solar nebula collapsed its center became very hot and?
dense, leading to the formation of the Sun. Gravitational forces caused the Sun's core to heat up and pressure to increase, triggering nuclear fusion and the start of its life as a star.
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
Heat from the Sun travels to Earth through electromagnetic radiation, specifically in the form of infrared radiation. This radiation can travel through the vacuum of space because it does not require a medium to propagate. Once it reaches Earth's atmosphere, some of this radiation is absorbed and warms up the planet.
What Water waves are caused by wind is directly caused by the blank of the sun?
What Water waves are caused by wind is directly caused by the heat of the sun.
What kind of heat is felt from the sun?
The heat felt from the sun is primarily infrared radiation. This type of heat is caused by the sun's energy being absorbed by the Earth's surface and then radiated back as heat.
Why will a car window break under the sun?
Expansion caused by heat.
How does water and humidity get into the atmosphere?
Evaporation, usually caused by heat from the sun.
What dries up in the sun?
Water, clothes, and wet paint can all dry up in the sun due to the evaporation process caused by the heat and light from the sunlight.
Is the sun warming up causing global warming?
No, the sun is actually slowly losing heat. Solar flares on the surface of the sun are caused by explosions of hydrogen which can't go on for ever. It is still expected to last for billions of years. Global warming is being caused by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. More gases retain more of the sun's heat and this is causing global warming.
Do you have to have a sun?
We all have to have a sun with out the sun we will be frozen solid the sun warms us up with its heat if we don't have heat we will freeze to death
Does the sun's light heat liquid on earth?
Yes. Anything that absorbs energy (light is energy) will heat up. Liquids will heat up when exposed to the illumination of the Sun.
How are greenhouse gases caused by the sun?
Greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide, and methane are not caused by the sun. They are warmed by the sun and they hold the heat to keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect.
What causes rock to heat up?
the sun
Why is it cold in between the sun and earth?
Heat is caused by the vibration within atoms. Space is a vacuum and therefore there are no atoms to have any heat.
How do you reduce heat stroke during summer days?
Believe it or not, heat stroke is actually caused by intense sun rays, not the heat. Just cover your skin!
