Difference between Convection zone and Main sequence

Convection zone vs. Main sequence

A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable to convection. In astronomy, the main sequence is a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness.

Similarities between Convection zone and Main sequence

Convection zone and Main sequence have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): CNO cycle, Convection, Helium, Hydrogen, Nuclear fusion, Opacity (optics), Proton–proton chain reaction, Radiation, Radiation zone, Red dwarf, Red giant, Solar mass, Star.

CNO cycle

The CNO cycle (for carbon–nitrogen–oxygen) is one of the two known sets of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium, the other being the proton–proton chain reaction.

Convection

Convection is the heat transfer due to bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock (rheid).

Nuclear fusion

In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

Opacity (optics)

Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light.

Proton–proton chain reaction

The proton–proton chain reaction is one of the two (known) sets of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium.

Radiation

In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.

Radiation zone

A radiation zone, radiative zone or radiative region is a layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion and thermal conduction, rather than by convection.

Red dwarf

A red dwarf (or M dwarf) is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence, of M spectral type.

Red giant

A red giant is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass (roughly 0.3–8 solar masses) in a late phase of stellar evolution.

Convection zone and Main sequence Comparison

Convection zone has 25 relations, while Main sequence has 127. As they have in common 13, the Jaccard index is 8.55% = 13 / (25 + 127).
