∙ 11y agoFusion, which happens when in the intensely dense core of a sun; two of the countless hydrogen atoms are pushed together to form helium. The energy of the two molecules creates a larger molecule and releases a small amount of energy, which is eventually released at the surface (corona) . The amount of energy released is described in Einstein's famous equation E=mC2, or Energy= mass times the the speed of light multiplied by itself. It suggests that the helium atom is slightly less massive than the two hydrogen atoms and the mass loss is converted to energy.

Which process produces the energy radiated by the star when it become a main sequence star?
nucleur fusion
What is the central portion of a star called that produces energy through nuclear reactions?
core
Process is how the sun produces energy?
Nuclear fusion. Atoms are smashed together in the star's core, releasing massive amounts of energy.
Why does a star produce light?
Because of nuclear fusion! The nuclear fusion releases energy which produces light.
Why are stars so important?
Stars play a variety of roles. First and foremost, the sun is a star. It provides the heat and light necessary for life of Earth. Stars also create most of the elements we find. Before stars started forming all matter in the universe consisted of hydrogen, helium, and trace amounts of lithium. All other elements have since been made in the thermonuclear furnaces of stars.
What produces a star's energy?
The nuclear fusion that goes on within the star.
Is a star important to the solar system?
Yes, a star produces energy to the solar system.
What produces light in a star?
energy released during the process of nuclear fusion in the star's core

Is white dwarf a dead star?
Yes - in the sense that it no longer produces energy. In other words, the star has run out of fuel for nuclear fusion.
What chemical reaction produces heat and energy in a star?
it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.
