What is a explosion?

A thermonuclear explosion occurs when an element, usually hydrogen or helium, is heated to the point that the nuclei of atoms become unstable. The result is fusion, when atoms combine to form the atoms of heavier elements, giving off enormous amounts of energy, which sustains the heat that resulted in fusion. In a "hydrogen" bomb, the initial energy to achieve the required temperature is provided by a small atomic (fission) bomb. The thermonuclear energy is dissipated in an enormous explosion. This process occurs naturally in the sun and stars.
