How do the products of a fusion reaction different from the products of a fission reaction?
Fusion is a process in which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a larger nucleus, while fission during fusion a small fraction of the reactant mass is converted into energy.
While not the only possible fusion reaction, the most commonly known is the fusion of hydrogen to create helium. The product is stable. In contrast, when fission of uranium or plutonium takes place, the resultant nuclei are neutron heavy and therefore will almost certainly be radioactive.

How do the waste products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fission reaction?
Most (but not all) fusion products are non-radioactive. Virtually all fission products are strongly radioactive beta or gamma emitters.
How do the products of a fusion differ from the products of a fission reaction?
One thing that makes fusion products different from fission products obviously is the fact that fusion products are heavier than the original two nuclei and fission products are lighter than the original nucleus
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
What is the opposite reaction to fusion?
fission

Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
It depends on the specific context. Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion is the combining of two smaller nuclei into a larger one, also releasing energy. Each reaction has distinct characteristics and applications in different scenarios.
What are two types of reaction?
Fission and fusion

Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
Why a fission reaction is neccasary for fusion reaction?
It isn't, in general. Thermonuclear bombs use a fission bomb to generate the heat and pressure required to start the fusion process, but there are other ways of doing it (stars do so by gravity, for instance).
