The basic reactions:
First 2 hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse to form deuterium, a hydrogen isotope (1 proton, 1 neutron).
Deuterium then fuses with another proton to form a light helium isotope, helium3 (2 protons, 1 neutron.
2 helium3 nuclei fuse to form Helium4 (2 protons 2 neutrons), + 2 hydrogen nuclei (protons).

∙ 12y agoAt the sun's core, and hence, the core of any star, there is mostly hydrogen. The core is so hot, therefore the particles inside the sun's core vibrate so much, that they collide with each other a lot. In fact, they collide with each other so often and so fast that eventually the protons of two hydrogen atoms (remember that hydrogen consists of one proton, one electron and no neutrons) collide but don't separate again. The two protons are now joined together in the nucleus. I am not entirely sure, but I'm pretty sure that the electron that orbited one of the protons that joined the other now would also orbit the joined nucleus, so that there are two electrons orbiting the two joined protons. This atom would now be what we call helium. This process is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion inside the core of a star can also join more than two protons and form more complex atoms. The more complex atoms are in the surface of the sun, and sometimes these atoms are thrown off the sun into the universe, which, I think but am not sure, is a result of the extremely fast vibrations of the particles in the sun, which is a result of it's temperature.

What does the sun turn into helium?
If you are asking "how helium formed the sun?" then for your information, sun and all the stars are formed mostly from Hydrogen. And if you are asking "How helium is formed in the sun?", the answer is that the Hydrogen in the sun fuses in itself(that's where from the sun get's its energy and luminosity) producing variety of elements like helium, carbon oxygen,iron etc.
What is the energy coming from the sun?
Hydrogen. It is really helium, but it converts it. So it is hydrogen.
The sun is composed of what?
mostly hydrogen and helium
Where does the sun get its energy from and how does it make or get energy?
The nuclear fusion that converts two hydrogen atoms into one Helium atom produces energy. It occurs at the core of the Sun.
What element is the sun mostly made of?
well the sun gets its name by just spiningb a star so its a star . comment please
Which two chemical elements are being inter-converted in the sun?
The sun converts Hydrogen into Helium.
How can composition of the sun explain that it is a young star?
Fusion in the sun converts Hydrogen into Helium, so finding out how much Helium is in the Sun can determine how old it is.
Nuclear reaction in the sun's interior convert?
Nuclear fusion converts hydrogen to helium
What is source of the sun's energy?
It converts hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion. The energy we get from the sun is called solar energy.

What is the primary atomic reaction that occurss within the sun that converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms?
kr
What changing mass is the sun's supply of energy?
It converts Hydrogen to Helium by nuclear Fusion, eventually when hydrogen runs out it will convert helium to a heavier element and so on till it burns out and dies
What is the primary atomic reation that occurs within the sun that converts hydrogen atoms into helium atoms?
A fusion reaction.
What is the energy coming from the sun?
Hydrogen. It is really helium, but it converts it. So it is hydrogen.
How sun is a source of nuclear energy?
The Sun produces its energy - the heat and light that reaches us from the Sun - from nuclear fusion. Specifically, it converts hydrogen to helium.
The sun produces energy by converting what to energy?
By converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.By converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.By converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.By converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4.
Is warming up in the sun a physical or chemical change?
It is a chemical change, because the sun converts hydrogen into helium to create heat and light.
