Does hydrogen fusion occur in the corona?

Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.

What energies occur in the sun?

The fusion of Hydrogen into Helium.


Why does hydrogen fusion not occur at the surface?

Not enough pressure or temperature.


Where does nuclear fusion occur and why?

In the cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.


List three conditions that must exist for the continuous fusion of hydrogen to occur?

High temperature, high pressure, and the presence of hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium are necessary conditions for the continuous fusion of hydrogen to occur in a controlled manner.


How does nuclear fusion work when stars produce their own energy?

The fusion of Hydrogen into Helium causes heat and radiation to occur.


What type of energy is the sun's energy source?

hydrogen fusion


Where does hydrogen fusion occur when there is no hydrogen left in the core of a star?

If there is no hydrogen left at the core of star then hydrogen fusion cannot occur. What happens in the core of a star before that happens is that helium begins to fuse, and then the other elements going up the periodic table until carbon. And then if the star explodes into a supernova, traces of the higher elements are fused as well.


Where does fusion of hydrogen to helium most commonly occur?

In stars. As far as I know this is the only place.


What is the order in which elements undergo fusion on the sun?

In the core of the Sun, hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium in a process known as hydrogen fusion. This is the primary fusion process occurring in the Sun. As the core hydrogen is depleted, helium fusion into heavier elements like carbon and oxygen will occur in later stages of the Sun's evolution.


How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?

a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
