Can matter and space exist in the same place?
Yes. You need space for matter to exist in, therefore they exist in the same place, but not in any other way.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
Why do nuclear reactions take place inside the core of the sun?
Because of the energy source and it can also provide the needed speed for fusion. +++ Not speed. The nuclear fusion of is hydrogen to helium, and it occurs because the core of the star as it developed gained sufficient pressure and temperature for the reaction to start and become self-sustaining. The outer regions of a star are neither hot enough nor compressed enough for fusion to occur.
What is the difference between a fission reactor and a fusion reactor?
In simplest terms, nuclear fission involves splitting atoms apart to make energy. Fusion involves smashing atoms together to make energy. Fusion reactors are currently entirely theoretical and do not exist. The main problem with fusion is figuring out how to get more energy out of the process than you put into making the fusion happen. Right now, the sun is the only place where fusion takes place on any meaningful scale.Another Answer:From a power production point of view, i.e. a controlledreaction, it is true that we have not been successful with fusion power. However, from a weapons point of view, i.e. an uncontrolled reaction, we have been successful. This is the basis of the hydrogen bomb. Interestingly, the hydrogen bomb requires so much energy to set it off that we use a fission bomb (the original atomic bomb) to initiate the fusion reaction.
How do scientist get energy out of a nuclei?

What conditions common to most stars including your sun appear to be necessary in order for fusion reactions to take place?
Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
What takes place in the center of a star?
Fusion reactions. Hydrogen nuclei are fused to make helium nuclei.(Interesting categories...)
Does the sun glow due to nuclear reactions in its corona?
No. The sun glows because of nuclear fusion that takes place in its core.
Do chemical reactions take place in living organisms?
No, Chemical reactions only change the physical state of matter. The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, and the atoms of living things are what make you who you are.

Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
What type of reactions take place in the center of the sun?
The reactions that take place on the sun are nuclear fusion reactions. Stars are, after all, giant nuclear fusion engines. On our neighborhood star, hydrogen is being fused into helium in the proton-proton chain. In this reaction, two protons are fused and one of them undergoes a beta decay to become a neutron, producing deuterium. There are a couple of different ways the fusion reactions can go from there, but helium eventually results. The process by which stars "run" is called stellar nucleosynthesis, and you can use the links below to investigate further.
The joining of nucei of small atoms to form larger atoms?
this is fusion nuclear reaction in which smaller elements converted into bigger atoms , such reactions take place with the release of huge amount of energy. when a new star is born such reactions stat to taking place so such reactions continuously tacking place on all the stars or suns.

When two hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium nucleus fusion has taken place true or false?
Yes it is true. In fusion reactions, two nuclei (not necessarily be hydrogen) combine to form a larger nucleus.
