They are both nuclear reactions. That's just about it. Other than that they are completely different. Fission is the nuclear reaction when two atoms smash the living soul out of each other and split apart, releasing nuclear energy.
The other, fusion, involves the same things as fission, expect that extreme heat and pressure is required for it to happen. Instead of splitting each other apart nuclear fusion fuses atoms together into another compound/element, while releasing about 10 times as much energy as nuclear fission.

∙ 11y agoAnswer: nuclear fusion is the collision of atoms so that they are either destroyed or make a new atom. nuclear fission is when a cell divides its nucleus. I don't know about you, but I cant think of any similarities.
Answer: A similarity is that both involve converting one isotope into another, and that both can be used, in principle, to get large amounts of power.

fusion takes place on the sun, fission takes place in radioactive elements

Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
Fission
The two processes which produce nuclear changes are?
Fission & Fusion. I JUST now got an answer right by using this. Good Luck! :D Hope this was helpful.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What are the 3 main types of nuclear reactions?
Nuclear fission: When an element breaks apart to form lighter elements and other sub-atomic particles. Nuclear fusion: When two lighter elements fuse to form heavier ones.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
What is the antonym of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission.
How is nuclear generation similar to nuclear fusion?
There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
Fission
How are fusion and fission similar to chemical energy?
They are not similar, as fusion and fission involve changes to the nucleus whereas chemical energy involves the bonds between atoms
Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
What are the type of nuclear reactions?
nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
