Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an element, it only happens to certain ones, most often Uranium 235 but also Plutonium 239. It does not take place in the sun at all, the sun is powered by nuclear fusion which is the joining together of hydrogen nuclei to form helium.

Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
In what layer of the sun does fusion take place?
The core.
What time and place does the poem the sun rising take place?
anywhere in the world you can see the horizon............
What is the event that take place as energy from the sun travels through an energy pyramid?
?
How does nuclear energy relate to the sun?
We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.
How does the sun produce enagy?
The energy produced in the sun is liberated in the form of heat and light. The reaction going on in the sun is known as Nuclear Fusion and Nuclear Fission. Both processes take place simultaneously.
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
What does happen within the sun is it fission or fusion?
Fusion only, there are no heavy elements like uranium so there can be no fission taking place
What is sun fission?
Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
What happens inside the nucleus of the atom?
fission is take place
What is the place where controlled nuclear fission reactions take place?
In the core of a nuclear reactor
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

Why does nuclear fission take place all through the world?
Not all countries have petrol, methane or coal; nuclear fission is a long term alternative.
What type of reaction take place in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission, not to be confused with fusion.
