Stars produce so much energy because of nuclear reactions occuring in their core. Hydrogen atoms are smashing together and fusing into helium through a process known as nuclear fusion which releases huge amounts of energy.

The energy of star produced by the nuclear synthesis running at the core of that star . take the example of our sun , Sun produces its energy by nuclear fusion followed by Proton proton chain reaction in which hydrogen fused into the helium .

the overall products of this reaction is positron, gamma ray photon, neutrino, isotopes of hydrogen and helium and very large amount of energy every second .

In massive stars nuclear synthesis is followed by Carbon-oxygen-nitrogen cycle .
