Why can the sun not be powered by a process such as the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen to form water?
The process of combustion involves rapid oxidation reactions that require the presence of oxygen. In the core of the sun, where nuclear fusion occurs, there is no oxygen present. Instead, the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
What are the other planets that shine for the same reasons as the moon?
SUN A DOY for light
What star shows in sky with sun?
Since the sun (a star) is so bright, no other star can shine during the daytime.
Why is the sun shining at the night and why is the moon upset about it?
The sun does not shine in the night. The full moon reflects sunlight to the Earth at night.
What element creates the energy that causes the sun to shine?
The element that creates the energy that causes the sun to shine is hydrogen. Through a process called nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms in the sun's core combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
