Nuclear fusion does.

The nuclei (nucleuses) of 2 or more atoms join into a single nucleus,

which releases a comparatively enormous amount of energy. This

process is the source of the energy that a star radiates.

Where does hydrogen fusion occur when there is no hydrogen left in the core of a star?

If there is no hydrogen left at the core of star then hydrogen fusion cannot occur. What happens in the core of a star before that happens is that helium begins to fuse, and then the other elements going up the periodic table until carbon. And then if the star explodes into a supernova, traces of the higher elements are fused as well.


When a stars core collapses does a giant explosion happen?

Yes, if the star is massive enough when the core collapses a supernova explosion happens.


If the core temp of a star decreases what happens to the radius?

If the core temperature of a star decreases, it will contract, causing the core to become denser. This contraction may lead to an increase in temperature in the outer layers, causing the star to expand its radius to re-establish equilibrium.

What happens when a star uses its hydrogen?

When a star uses the hydrogen in its core it will start burning hydrogen in a shell around the core and become a red giant. After that the star will either collapse into a white dwarf or start fusing helium, depending on its mass.


What happens in the core that marks the birth of a star?

Nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei.


What happens in the star core?

The core of a star is located inside the star in a region where the temperature and pressures are sufficient to ignite nuclear fusion, converting atoms of hydrogen into helium, and releasing a tremendous amount of heat.
