What is A collapsed cloud of gas and dust that did not have enough mass to start nuclear fusion in its core and it is more dense than a planet and produces its own dim light?

The object you describe is a brown dwarf stellar object.
They range in size from 13.5 to 80 times the mass of Jupiter.
They do allow limited deuterium burning in there cores and brown dwarf > 65 Jupiter mass also allow limited lithium fusion but unlike stars do not produce a lot of energy.

What comes after nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is itself a difficult enough one to crack!
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What are the by-products of nuclear fusion?
In general, nuclear fusion produces a new atom (or, in some cases, two atoms), a change in the amount of heat present and possibly some other emission. The specific products of nuclear fusion depend on what is being fused. The fusion of 2H + 2H produces 3H + a proton + 4.02 MeV The fusion of 2H + 3H produces 4He + a neutron + 17.6 MeV The fusion of 6Li + 2H can produce 4He + 4He + 22.4 MeV In the cases where fusion produces atoms heavier than iron, the reaction is endothermic, consuming heat rather than producing it.
Describe how nuclear fusion generates the suns energy?
It is the process that produces all the sun's energy
Where does nuclear fusion happen on the sun?
Only at the core, where the temperatures and pressures are high enough.
What part of th sun produces energy through nuclear fusion?
The entire sun does it. As long is it is hot enough, it will be causing nuclear fusion.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What is the major source of energy the sun now produces?
Nuclear fusion.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Why does a star produce light?
Because of nuclear fusion! The nuclear fusion releases energy which produces light.
What comes after nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is itself a difficult enough one to crack!
What is the verb in the sentence Nuclear fusion produces heat for stars?
Produces is the verb.
Why is nuclear fusion important to life on earth?
Life on Earth gets its energy from the Sun, which produces the energy through nuclear fusion.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What produces a star's energy?
The nuclear fusion that goes on within the star.
How is the sun energy produced?
Nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where Hydrogen-1 is converted to Helium-4 plus energy.
Does nuclear fusion trap heat?
No. It just produces a heck of a lot of heat.
