heat of fusion
Nuclear fusion takes place only in the core of the Sun, or any star. Extremely high energy (temperatures) are required to force atomic nuclei together. The fusion reaction releases heat energy, which continues the fusion of other nuclei.
No. Specific heat capacity (c) is used in to calculate energy when matter is not undergoing a phase change [Q = mc(delta)T]. Heat of fusion (HF) is used to calculate energy when matter is either melting or freezing [Q = m(HF)].

Heat of fusion.
The heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change 1 unit mass of a solid to a liquid at constant temperature.
heat of fusion
Not directly, but as a comet approaches the sun, which is one big fusion reactor, the heat will cause the surface of the comet to vaporize, forming the comet's tail.
The latent heat of fusion
1kj x 1/H fusion x g/mol solid
