This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.

Actually, the helium isn't formed in one step. Several reactions occur to give the overall result.

How is helium formed from hydrogen?
It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.
How many hydrogen atoms that fuse to form a helium is?
two hydrogen atoms
What is the process called in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium and energy?
nuclear fusion
Are hydrogen or oxygen atoms used to produce helium atoms with larger masses in nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen.
An atom of helium has a mass about four times greater than that of an atom of hydrogen Which choice makes the correct comparison of the relative numbers of helium and hydrogen atoms in equal masses o?
the number of helium and hydrogen atoms is the same
What the core of the Sun made out of?
The sun consists of hydrogen and helium atoms. The hydrogen atoms combine in a process called nuclear fusion, releasing energy and creating helium atoms.
How is helium formed from hydrogen?
It's called the proton-proton cycle. It's the source of the sun's energy. Also called nuclear fusion.
What are the atoms called that powers the sun and other stars?
The sun and other stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen atoms combine by nuclear fusion resulting in helium.
What atoms do the sun produce by fusing hydrogen atoms?
The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This is a nuclear fusion that occurs at the sun's core.
The sun fuses hydrogen atoms into what?
Hydrogen atoms fuse into helium.
Is the ratio of the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increasing or decreasing?
Since hydrogen atoms in the sun are fused into helium atoms, the amount of helium is increasing and the amount of hydrogen is decreasing.
How many hydrogen atoms that fuse to form a helium is?
two hydrogen atoms
Do Hydrogen and helium atoms make up fifty percent of atoms in outer space?
Hydrogen and helium make about 98% of the atoms in the solar system !
In stars energy is produced as primarily hydrogen atoms are combined to form?
helium atoms
What gas is the sun burning?
The SUN does NOT BURN gas. It is a FUSION of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
What is the process called in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium and energy?
nuclear fusion
Stars produce energy by fusing hydrogen into?
Helium atoms
