If star start from a big ball of hidrogen and the all the neutron to make helium.
Thx for help!

Deuterium is the isotope of hydrogen with one neutron and one proton. It can be produced by the reaction at the top in the diagram anorlunda posted above: two protons combine, emitting a positron and and a neutrino and turning into deuterium.Quantum Velocity said:What is deuterium-producing

The source of neutrons in the sun is nuclear fusion. During the fusion process, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of photons. A small percentage of these photons are then converted into neutrons through a process called pair production.
Neutrons do not directly contribute to the sun's energy production. However, they play a crucial role in the nuclear fusion process by interacting with protons to form deuterium, which then fuses with other deuterium atoms to form helium. This fusion process releases a vast amount of energy, which is what powers the sun.
Yes, neutrons are constantly being produced in the sun through the process of nuclear fusion. However, the rate of production is relatively low compared to other particles, such as protons and photons.
Yes, neutrons in the sun can eventually decay. However, the timescale for this decay is extremely long, estimated to be around 14 minutes. This is due to the fact that neutrons in the sun are constantly being replenished through the fusion process.
Yes, neutrons can be found in other stars aside from the sun. In fact, neutrons play a crucial role in the energy production of all main-sequence stars. However, the exact mechanisms of neutron production may vary depending on the type and size of the star.
