The sun and stars are light sources bacause of the energy they produce. The energy comes from a special process called nuclear fusion. This happens when two like-charged (either two negative or two positive) hydrogen atoms fuse together, and they change forms. This releases helium atoms, a neutron, and energy. The name 'Nuclear Fusion" comes from the words Nuclei and Fusion. Nuclei is like the brain of the cell. Atoms are cells, and they are actually made up of many cells. The root word of Fusion is fuse. Fuse means to bring together, or become one. Hope this helps!
