At this time hydrogen to helium burning.
1H + 1H --> 2H + e + ~1 MeV
2H + 2H --> 3H + 1H + ~4 MeV
2H + 3H --> 4He + n + ~17 MeV
and several other side reactions.
When it runs out of hydrogen, the core will begin helium burning. This is much harder to start so it requires much higher pressure and temperature.
3 4He --> 12C
But this will not begin for another 6 billion years.

Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Does nuclear fusion occur in the sun's corona?
No, while it is hot enough the pressure is too low.
What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
What is one place with temperatures high enough for nuclear fusion to occur?
Interior of the sun.
What layer of the sun does fusion occur?
Nuclear fusion occurs in the solar core.
Fusion reactions on the sun?
yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
Where does most nuclear fusion occur in your solar system?
Sun
Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
How does nuclear fusion occur in the sun's interior core?
High temp and pressure
It takes an extremely high temperature for nuclear to occur inside the sun?
Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star. ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
Why only in the sun's core does nuclear fusion occur?
The rest of the sun is too cold and too low pressure.
Does nuclear fusion occur in the sun's corona?
No, while it is hot enough the pressure is too low.
What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
What is one place with temperatures high enough for nuclear fusion to occur?
Interior of the sun.
What are the products of fusion on the sun?
What is a finalproduct of nuclear fusion in the sun
What is it called when nuclear fusion occurs on the sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of all the sun's energy, and all other stars. It is just called nuclear fusion.
