Our sun produces mostly helium by fusion, but it also uses fusion to make lithium, beryllium and boron. Temperature and mass determine how far a star can go with fusion. "Solar fusion" only refers to the fusion going on in Sol, the star nearest Earth (our star, the sun). Stellar nucleosynthesis is how elements are produced in stars, and in much larger & hotter stars fusion is responsible for elements as heavy as unstable zinc, or stable iron.

What is the sun is made out of?
the sun is made from helium and hydrogen fused together by gravity
What percent of the sun is water?
None. The sun is made of pure elements, mostly hydrogen, which fuse together, creating energy in the form of heat and light. When the hydrogen has fused into helium, the helium fuses into the heavier elements. Eventually, a couple billion years in the future, the sun will be made almost entirely of iron, at which point the fusion will cease and the sun will DIE. But you won't be around to see it. At no point does water form without it being immediately consumed and fused into heavier elements.
What is produced when elements fuse in the sun?
Both energy (sunlight) and helium are produced when hydrogen fuses together. This also what happened when the US used atomic weapons on Japan in WW2.
What elements are fusing in the sun's core right now?
In a process known as nuclear fusion, hydrogen is constantly fused into helium.
What is fused from hydrogen in the sun?
Helium.
What is the sun is made out of?
the sun is made from helium and hydrogen fused together by gravity
Which particles are fused together in the sun to produce energy?
hydrogen
What Elements are involved in the Sun's thermonuclear processes?
Within our Sun, hydrogen is fused into helium at very high temperatures. This is how the Sun is powered.

Nuclear fusion powers the sun what elements are fused together in the sun?
It is just protons joining together, which are hydrogen ions, so the only fuel required is hydrogen, the reaction proceeds due to the high pressure at the sun's core, due to the immense gravitational compression. See the link below
Nuclear fusion powers the Sun. What elemnts in the sun are fused together in the sun?
Hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium and energy.
What does posterior elements do not appear fused mean?
The back parts don't seem to be joined together.
What is produced when elements fuse in the sun?
Both energy (sunlight) and helium are produced when hydrogen fuses together. This also what happened when the US used atomic weapons on Japan in WW2.
Is AI2 O3 a compound or a element?
It is a compound, as it is a collection of different elements fused together by molecular bonds.
When two or more atoms form together what do they make?
A compound. (Could also be a mixture depending on if they are fused together or mixed)
What elements are fusing in the sun's core right now?
In a process known as nuclear fusion, hydrogen is constantly fused into helium.
Which fingers of the koalas are fused together?
None of the koala's fingers are fused together. The second and third toe of the koala's hind feet are fused together.
