The main difference is that hydrogen nuclei have 1 proton whereas helium nuclei have 2 protons.
The number of neutrons depends on the "isotope".
Usually, a hydrogen nucleus does not have neutrons and is simply a proton.
The helium nucleus usually has 2 neutrons.

When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun nuclei of what are produced?
Helium is produced
What gas is the center of the sun made of?
- hydrogen nuclei waiting to be fused into helium and - helium which has been fused from hydrogen nuclei
What does the sun convert into helium?
Hydrogen Nuclei
When the sun burns hydrogen helium it makes what?
The sun is on the Main Sequence, fusing hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei and release substantial quantities of energy.
What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?
Helium
Hydrogen nuclei collide at high speeds to form helium nuclei this reaction is called?
Fusion
How does the sun create energy and where does it happen?
By nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, in the core.
Does helium change into hydrogen in the center of the sun?
No. It is the other way around. Hydrogen nuclei fuses to form helium in the center of the sun.
What accurately describes the main reaction that generates the Sun's light?
hydrogen nuclei fuse forming helium and releasing energy
What happens in the core that marks the birth of a star?
Nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei.
What happen in the core that marks the birth of a star?
Nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei.
Hydrogen is converted into what?
In the core of a sun hydrogen nuclei are fused into helium atoms, liberating energy.
