nuclear fusion reaction
In the core of a nuclear reactor
A nuclear reaction involves changes in the nucleus of an atom, and it is from the atomic nucleus that energy is released in a nuclear reaction.
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.
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.
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.
White dwarfs are too cool for nuclear fusion to take place.
Most nuclear fusion happens close to the Sun's center, or core. That's where the temperature and pressure are greatest.
nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.
Light reaction take place in day time. Dark reaction take place at night
