carbon burning comparison table

Subject has optimum density has definition requires minimum mass at star birth has location has reactant is a kind of has part product has optimum temperature has duration

exothermic fusion process A fusion reaction which linerates energy. energy source

carbon burning 2 × 10⁵ g cm^-13 The stage when a star fuses carbon into heavier elements, making neon and magnesium. Carbon burning eventually occurs in all stars born with more than eight solar masses. 8 solar masses center of star heavier than 4 solar masses carbon exothermic fusion process neon, magnesium 6 × 10⁸ K 600 years
