The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.

Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into what?

Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into helium through a process called nuclear fusion. This fusion reaction releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which powers the star and allows it to shine.


What energy has sun fusing helium atoms in hydrogen and release energy?

Nuclear fusion is a process where multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release of energy. The nuclear fusion process is responsible for the fusion of helium of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms in the core of the sun.
