  • The simplest and easiest reaction to do is deuterium tritium fusion, this makes helium-4 and a free neutron.
  • The next simplest is deuterium deuterium fusion, this can make any of 3 products: helium-4, helium-3 and a free neutron, or tritium and hydrogen.
  • The hardest is multistep, hydrogen hydrogen fusion, this makes helium-2 which instantly beta decays to deuterium, followed by deuterium deuterium or deuterium tritium fusion.
  • There are various other pathways too.

What is a fuel for a star?

Most stars process Hydrogen using nuclear fusion and turn it into Helium.


What temperature does hydrogen turn into helium?

10 million degrees with a football field worth of hydrogen under a lot of pressure the process is called nuclear fusion


What does the sun turn into helium?

If you are asking "how helium formed the sun?" then for your information, sun and all the stars are formed mostly from Hydrogen. And if you are asking "How helium is formed in the sun?", the answer is that the Hydrogen in the sun fuses in itself(that's where from the sun get's its energy and luminosity) producing variety of elements like helium, carbon oxygen,iron etc.

You think to nuclear fusion.


Which Planet constantly turning hydrogen into helium?

None of them. Stars turn hydrogen into helium through thermonuclear fusion.


What is the process that A star turns matter into energy?

A nuclear reaction - either fusion or fission - is required to turn matter into energy.


Does a spectrometer break up the suns light?

NO, it can't break the sun light, because, the hydrogen atoms of the sun turn into helium that is by fusion process while the helium atoms turn into hydrogen


When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium atoms to produce?

fusion


When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium what kind of energy does it produce?

fusion


Hydrogen to Helium in a protostar?

stars undergo nuclear fusion, that is to say that the nuclei of 2 (or more) atoms literally combine. in stars it's hydrogen, and by combine i dont mean a chemical reaction. i mean that you take one proton, add another proton, and out comes a nucleus with 2 protons. so take 2 hydrogens (both 1 proton each) and use nuclear fusion to turn it into the atomic element with 2 protons known as helium


Where does the energy for the fusion come from in red giant star?

Nuclear fusion comes from the sun it is a "fusion" of hydrogen pairs that make helium and the helium has to many electrons so those extra turn in to photons and come to earth from the sun as heat and light. Or that's what i have heard. So this happens in the sun very rapidly many photons are sent to the earth each second.So the answer (or what i think is the answer) is it comes from the sun!


When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium atoms to produce energy what forms?
