After it gets dark, they refill it with lighter fluid. Every morning they light it fresh with a big ‘ole Zippo.
space contains all of the oxygen
Because it isn't burning, it's exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that's going off veeeeeery slowly
This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!
When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!
So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!
I remember reading once that if the sun was made of entirely wood .. it would take about 5,000 years to burn out.... which is roughly the same timeline and age given by the Christian Bible.
Hello friend
it must be the poop bear
it's flaming because of all the gay
Because there isn't enough water to put it out
There is oxygen in space, it's just a different type of oxygen that we can't see
You guys can see oxygen?
The sun burns differently, it's burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine
The sun can also use souls as a comburant. It's kept alight by the stores of sacrifices it's accumulated over time. But sacrifices aren't as common and the stocks are running down... Thankfully, there are some secret organisations handling this problem.
Secret organizations? Well I guess that rules out Boeing.
No one said they did everything themselves, they don't mind outsourcing !
Am I the only one who can't watch his shows or movies because he's so unsettling and odd looking?
The hilaries are making it
it's hot.
