Why the earth is closer or further away from the sun during different times of year

Geography

Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago

Because of Earth's axial tilt (obliquity), our planet orbits the Sun on a slant which means different areas of Earth point toward or away from the Sun at different times of the year. Around the June solstice, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun and the Northern Hemisphere gets more of the Sun's direct rays.

What happens during the entire fusion process in the Sun? Two hydrogen nuclei come together to produce one helium nucleus and tw
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Two hydrogen nuclei come together to produce one helium nucleus and two protons, and energy is released.

Explanation:

All stars (including the Sun) at birth begin to fuse two hydrogen nuclei to form helium through nuclear fusion.  

In this sense, nuclear fusion is the union of two light atoms, releasing energy in the process, which is the cause of the great luminosity of a star. Especifically, the hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

To unerstand it better:

To shine, the stars transform their hydrogen into helium by means of nuclear fusion. When at half of its life a star is without hydrogen, the nucleus becomes entirely helium and the star declines, becoming colder and brighter due to the energy generated by the nuclear reactions, then the star begins to contract.  

Nevertheless, if the star is bigger, this helium will be also consumed and the nucleus transformed in Carbon, then in Oxigen, and so on. Being the last transformation Iron until the star delivers all its energy.
