How does the sun produce enagy?

The energy produced in the sun is liberated in the form of heat and light. The reaction going on in the sun is known as Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission. Both processes take place simultaneously.


How does nuclear fusion take place in the sun?

Gravity. The sun is a ball of gas (mostly hydrogen), gravity causes it to squeeze in on itself, increasing both temperature and density. When the hydrogen becomes sufficiently squeezed, it fuses spontaneously.


Can a sample of matter change its composition or state?

For chemical reactions, the elements in a sealed vessel will not change. But, reactions can take place that would tend to take the sample to a state of equilibrium. Or, with heating or cooling the physical state can be changed.Another type of reaction is nuclear decay, in which radioactive substances will spontaneously decay to other radioactive substances, or decay to non-radioactive substances, thus actually changing the elements present.
