What is the source of energy for the Sun and other stars?

Nuclear fusion


What is fusion and fission related to?

Fusion and fission is related to combining (fusion) or splitting (fission) radioactive nuclei, in both cases releasing binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force). Fission is more commonly used in nuclear power plants and A-Bombs, while fusion is more commonly used in H-Bombs and in the Stars.


Is The process that produces the energy in the cores of most stars nuclear fission?

No, it is nuclear fusion. Fission is the splitting of heavy atoms, such as uranium. Fusion is the combining of light atoms into heavier atoms.Stars get their energy from fusion, combining hydrogen into helium, and eventually, helium into metals. (In Astronomy, a metal is any element heavier than helium.)This is both the source of energy for stars, and the explanations why we have metals (oxygen, carbon, etc.) on Earth. The heavy elements were produced in stars; some of them went to space and participated in the formation of new solar systems.


Source of heat and light energy produced by stars?

Nuclear fusion


What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?

The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.


What is the difference between mechanical energy and nuclear energy?

Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.


Where does solar fusion form on the sun?

Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.


What relation do stars have with fission?

None, they rely on fusion


What is Alternative energy source produced from atomic reactions?

Nuclear fission is when a neutron is fired at an element with a high atomic number, which splits and releases more neutrons and energy as a result. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and experimental reactors.

What is the source of stars energy?

Nuclear fusion, usually by fusing hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
