Sun energy is produced by the fusion of two hydrogen atoms under immense pressure and heat in the core of the sun. The chemical energy (energy stored in the bonds of atoms) is released during this fusion.

How would you make as much heat as the sun produces?
The process of fusion. The sun makes heat by fusing hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is the lightest element, and in the process of fusion, the lighter the element being fused, the more energy (heat) is produced.
When did scientist begin to understand how the sun produces all the energy that it does?
Well firstly they noticed that if the sun did not produce energy via fusion, it would be impossible based on the amount of mass the sun has, which is not enough. Sometime around the first half of the 20th century.
Which process does the Sun use to produce energy?
The conversion of Hydrogen into Helium (nuclear fusion).
What produces heat?
Mechanical energy
What is the product of a fusion reaction with the sun?
In the sun the product of the nuclear fusion is light energy and heat energy. It also created helium from the isotopes deuterium and tritium.
What produces the Sun's energy?
Fusion produces the Sun's energy .
Where does the sun get its energy from and how does it make or get energy?
The nuclear fusion that converts two hydrogen atoms into one Helium atom produces energy. It occurs at the core of the Sun.
How is the sun energy produced?
Nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where Hydrogen-1 is converted to Helium-4 plus energy.
What reaction in the sun produces energy?
nucleur fusion
What is sun fission?
Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
What is the major source of energy the sun now produces?
Nuclear fusion.
How sun produces light?
The energy which produces light and heat in the Sun comes from "nuclear fusion" deep inside the Sun.
Do nuclear fission or fusion is caused by the suns energy?
yes, it is.. when two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, high amount of energy is liberated both in the form of Heat and light...
How does sun provides energy?
The Sun produces energy by nuclear fusion. It follows the steps of the proton-proton(P-P) chain, which converts hydrogen to helium. The core of the Sun produces about 99% of heat through fusion.

What is the process that produces energy in our sun?
The process that produces energy in our sun is called nuclear fusion. The fusion reaction combines hydrogen atoms into helium releasing a great deal of energy. The is the same processed as in the hydrogen bomb.
What produces Large amounts of energy within the Sun?
Fusion of hydrogen.
