In our solar system both the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and the ice giants Uranus and Neptune (sometimes also called gas giants) are believed to have rocky cores, likely composed of silicates, ice, and possibly heavier elements like metals such as nickel/iron although their true composition is not well known. Above that are deep layers of metallic hydrogen. Their atmospheres are predominatly molecular hydrogen and some helium, with other compounds such as ammonia present in small amounts on Saturn. The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are so named for having much more icy compounds such as water, ammonia, and methane, and some nitrogen and hydrocarbons. The presence of methane in outer layers is thought to give Neptune its blue color.
Hydrogen
The main fuel of all all stars during almost all of their existence is the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Toward the end of their lives stars that are massive enough briefly (in astronomical terms) fuse helium into heavier elements and sometimes those heavier elements into yet heavier elements. But, those events happen only in large stars and only briefly. The answer is, "hydrogen".
Stars a giant balls of gas mainly hydrogen and helium. inside a star there are such temperatures that hydrogen fusion occurs making helium and when the star runs outta hydrogen it gets hotter and helium fusion occurs then carbon fusion etc etc. so ultimately it depends on the age of the star.
The "main" fuel for any star is Hydrogen, however there are varying quantities of other elements, any with an atomic weight less than Iron. When a star's nucleus is made up of mostly iron, which doesn't release the necessary energy when undergoing nuclear fusion, the star then collapses under its own weight.
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen to helium. That means the fuel is hydrogen.
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen to helium. That means the fuel is hydrogen.
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen to helium. That means the fuel is hydrogen.
Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen to helium. That means the fuel is hydrogen.
The main fuel in stars is hydrogen, which undergoes nuclear fusion to form helium. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy that powers the star's luminosity and heat.
In most stars, the element Hydrogen fuses together to form Helium, a process that converts a tiny bit of mass into a whole lot of energy.
hydrogen
and helium
dunno cause stars don't only burn off those elements. yes mainly they do but what about the other gases like nitrogen and co2 and h2kc4kj3

What is the primary fuel of main sequence stars?
The primary fuel for all stars is hydrogen
What is the main fuel for nuclear reactions in stars?
The main fuel for nuclear reactions in stars is hydrogen. Through a process called nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process powers the stars and allows them to shine brightly.
Are main sequence stars older than red giants?
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
What is the fuel that feeds stars?
The main fuel source for stars is hydrogen. Through the process of nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms are converted into helium atoms releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This fusion process is what powers the bright shining of stars.
The two types of stars that do not fall into the main sequence of an H-R diagram are?
The two types of stars that do not fall into the main sequence of an H-R diagram are white dwarfs and giant stars. White dwarfs are small, hot stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel, while giant stars are large, luminous stars that have evolved off the main sequence due to changes in their internal structure.

Are main sequence stars older than red giants?
No, red giants are generally older than main sequence stars, as red giants have no hydrogen left for fuel, and burn helium instead. where as Main Sequence stars burn hydrogen for fuel.
What fuel is used with the main sequence stars?
gas, and other vibrate radiations.
What do all stars in main sequence have in common?
main sequence stars all are burning though fuel at asteadyrate in there cores. with the proton+proton chain our sun is a main sequence star
What is the name of the portion of a stars life were it uses hydrogen as fuel?
A star that uses hydrogen as fuel is a main sequencestar.
Which color use up their fuel supply in the shortst period of time stars?
main sequence stars of which colr use up their fuel supply in the shortest period of time? and why.
What fuel is being burned by main sequence stars?
Hydrogen is being "burned" into helium.
What types of stars are main sequence stars?
Any star that it fusing hydrogen into helium is classed as a main sequence star.
What element is the main fuel for main sequence stars for red giant?
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
What element is the main fuel for red giants main sequence stars?
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
What red giants element is the main fuel for main sequence stars?
Main sequence star: hydrogen-1. Red giants: helium-4.
