From what part of the sun does the sun produce its energy?

The sun is just a great ball of gas and its the atoms in that gas that fuse and give off its energy(in heat and light).


Why is sun shine?

When its atoms fuse it releases a bunch of energy and radiation, some of which is in the visible spectrum of light.


What is the most common typle of nuclear fusion in the sun?

The most common fusion in the sun is two hydrogen atoms fusing to produce helium. There are different ways this can happen. Two deuterium atoms may fuse, or a deuterium atom may fuse with a tritium atom, or two tritium atoms may fuse. Since the half life of tritium is rather short, the overwhelming majority of these atoms are deuterium atoms. The commonest form of hydrogen, known as protium, does not take part in the process.


What do atoms fuse to form into?

Atoms can fuse together to form molecules or compounds.


What chemical is inside the sun?

Hydrogen is in the sun, when the hydrogen atoms fuse (join together) they make helium in stars. this gives out lots of heat and light.


How many atoms power the sun and other stars?

Way too many to count. The stars have many trillions of trillions of trillions of atoms. When a star is "born," it only contains hydrogen atoms. As time goes on, the star uses nuclear fusion to fuse these atoms together to form heavier elements such as iron. In affect, us humans are made of atoms created in stars.
