This is because the earth isn't a star and instead a planet.For fusion to occur on Earth, you need a temperature of at least 100 million degrees Celsius—six times hotter than the core of the sun. Currently, here on Earth the amount of energy you'd need to put in to produce that kind of heat or pressure is much, much higher than what you get out in usable energy.

What kind of a bond do hydrogen and oxygen?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

covalent bonds

Explanation:

The covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are polar covalent bonds. The shared electrons spend more time near the oxygen nucleus, giving it a small negative charge, than they spend near the hydrogen nuclei, giving these molecules a small positive charge.

Convert 4.57X-3m to the equivalent length in nanometers

siniylev [52]

Answer:

4.57 × 10⁶ nanometers

Explanation:

In this problem we are asked to convert between two units i.e. a meter into nanometer. In sciences, the different units are used for a same quantity (achieved by multiplying conversion factors) to get rid of very small values and get a readable and intelligible values.

For Example:

In given statement the value of small distance is 4.5 × 10⁻³ meter the real number form of this number is 0.00457. Hence, this number can be converted to a very large number by multiplying it with 10⁹ or 1000000000. Hence,

4.5 × 10⁻³ × 1.0 × 10⁹ = 4.57 × 10⁶

Or,

4.5 × 10⁻³ meters = 4.57 × 10⁶ nanometers

Although the quantity is the same for same units but the number has changed.
