What part of the sun is the hottest?
The very center of the core, where nuclear fusion is occurring is the hottest part of the sun. It's millions of degrees!
Why is the sun a star and not planet?
For two reasonsPlanets orbit Stars.Stars emit energy as a result of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in their cores, planets do not.The solar system's planets orbit the Sun (making the Sun a Star by criterion 1) and the Sun emits energy as a result of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core (making the Sun a Star by criterion 2).
What elements are fusing in the sun's core right now?
In a process known as nuclear fusion, hydrogen is constantly fused into helium.
How does life on earth benefit from the fusion reactions occurring in the sun?
The Sun provides all of the energy we need. Without that energy, life on Earth would not exist.
What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?
The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.
Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring for over four billion years?
In the Sun's interior
The hottest part of the sun?
The very center of the core, where nuclear fusion is occurring; millions of degrees.

The very center of the core, where nuclear fusion is occurring is the hottest part of the sun. It's millions of degrees!
What is events of occurring in the sun?
Nuclear fusion: mainly of hydrogen into helium. To a lesser extent there is fusion of helium into larger elements - all the way to iron.

How does the sun get its energy?
nuclear fusion
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 the major source of energy the sun now produces?
Nuclear fusion.

The Sun provides all of the energy we need. Without that energy, life on Earth would not exist.
What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?
The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.
Is nuclear fusion only theoretical?
No, it is occurring in all stars including our sun, and we would not exist otherwise. On Earth it is still experimental
What is the major source of energy the sun is now producing?
Nuclear fusion.
