What is the name of the process in the center of the sun that generates its energy?
Nuclear fusion.
How does nuclear fusion power the sun for 10 billion years?
First, the Sun is pretty big, and there is a LOT of hydrogen. Second, nuclear fusion generates a WHOLE lot of energy.
Describe three advantages nuclear fusion would have over nuclear fission.?
1. Unlike fission, during fusion tremendous amount of energy is liberated. Hence fusion of a very small mass generates large amount of energy. 2. Unlike fission the products of fusion reactions are not radio-active. Thus they are harmless and can be replaced easily. 3. Highly penetrating radiations are liberated during fission, which are highly hazardous.

What occurs in the sun's core and generates the sun's energy?
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. The mass of the helium produced is slightly less than the mass of the hydrogen used to make it and this mass difference is released as energy (E=MC(squared)).
What occurs in the sun's and generates the sun's energy?
Nuclear Fusion
What is the name of the process in the center of the sun that generates its energy?
Nuclear fusion.
How sun generates energy?
By heat released from continuous nuclear fission and fusion process.
Name of the source of the sun's energy?
nothing The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?
In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.
How does nuclear fusion power the sun for 10 billion years?
First, the Sun is pretty big, and there is a LOT of hydrogen. Second, nuclear fusion generates a WHOLE lot of energy.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
How does a mian sequnce star generates energy?
By nuclear fusion - converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
What generates the sun's energy?
Nuclear fusion. Stellar fusion involves a ton of different fusion reactions throughout the star's life. The primary and (usually) the longest burning is the fusion of hydrogen into helium. This consumes a great number of the nuclear energy in the sun, and it usually accounts for the type of fusion that goes on for most of the life of the star. This is the process.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What generates the high temperatures within the sun?
Nuclear fusion.
