Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Can fision occur in a star?
Not typically. When a star burns it starts with fusion of Hydrogen. Later heavier atoms are formed, also by fusion. It is believed that the very heavy atoms, that release energy when split (fission) are only formed by very massive stars . These atoms are also formed by fusion. When one of these very massive stars explodes (super nova) it spews out its atoms and during this process its possible some fission will occur, but for the most part star evolution is a fusion story.
Is fission and fusion opposite?
No, fission and fusion are not opposites. Fission is defined as the act of splitting into parts and fusion is defined as a coalition of factions or the act of fusing.
Is a tomic bomb is an example of fusion or fission or annihilation?
An atomic bomb can be a fission bomb or a fusion bomb. Fusion bombs create more energy but fission bombs leave radioactive material and radiation.
What is fusion and fission related to?
Fusion and fission is related to combining (fusion) or splitting (fission) radioactive nuclei, in both cases releasing binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force). Fission is more commonly used in nuclear power plants and A-Bombs, while fusion is more commonly used in H-Bombs and in the Stars.
What is sun fission?
Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
When does fission occur in a star?
Never, only fusion
Where in space do fission and fusion happen?
Strictly speaking nowhere in space, because space has no matter in it. Fusion happens in the stars. Fission may occur in some planets somewhere in the universe but not in our solar system

How is the production of electricity by fission better than nuclear fusion?
In principle fusion should be better for the environment because it does not produce the active fission products. The snag is that it has not been made to work yet, and won't be for many years to come, so as a practical way of producing electricity it does not come into play, and we have to say fission is better than a non-existent fusion
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
Fission
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
