Anonymous Coward User ID: 685116 United States 06/08/2009 11:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Four hydrogen atoms, each composed of one proton, fuse. This produces a helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons. What happened to the electric charge of the two protons that became neutrons? It's lost as pure energy in the form of light (well, electromagnetic radiation), and also a free-roving particle called a neutrino. Even in the center of the sun this requires a slightly improbable series of events which keeps the "burn" rate under control. So remember to wear your sunscreen next time you're out. You're standing under a giant unshielded fusion reactor! |

All stars float through the vacuum of space. The simple answer to OP's question is that the Sun is not a fire. Let There Be Peace |

Quoting: voice 698037Ah, now we're getting somewhere........but when they show pictures of it up close, it looks like hot lava flowing and spiting doesn't it? And I thought nuclear fusion was pretty much a constant. Then why the CMEs?? (coronal mass ejections) They are random and fiery, no? |

Twisted_Logic User ID: 688569 United States 06/09/2009 12:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP... i have a question for you... If fire cannot exist in the vacuum of space, How do we have fire on the earth? ........................................... The logic you are using is akin to the following............... If fish can't live outside of water, then do they breathe? -Since when did thinking become a bad idea? |
