... Chemical reactions (like fire, metabolism) involve an atom’s electrons. Eg. 2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O Nuclear reactions involve an atom’s nucleus.... They are much more powerful. They create new elements! All of the Sun’s energy comes from nuclear reactions. (so the Sun is not “on fire”) Since the Sun is mo ...

The death of a star
... I will answer it by the following shortened version of the life of a star such as our Sun after it has reached the 'normal' star state. As far as expansion and contraction are concerned it all depends which part of the stellar cycle you are interested in. Both occur between the 'normal' state and th ...

... around the sun, it will have actually rotated one degree too much in its 23 hr, 56 min sidereal day. Hence, the solar day would be 23 hrs, 52 min, or 4 minutes shorter (instead of 4 minutes longer, as it is currently). 2. Defend or oppose the claim that “a theory in science is really just a guess.” ...
