Fusion reactions occur under immense pressures, such as those found in the centre of the sun. To artificially produce fusion reactions here on earth, we either use MCF (magnetic confinement fusion) or ICF (inertial confinement fusion) to create the pressure and temperature necessary for small elements to fuse together, releasing energy.

Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Is nuclei and nuclear fusion the same?
No. Nuclei are objects, nuclear fusion is a process in which those objects join to make bigger nuclei.
What is the process called in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium and energy?
nuclear fusion
Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring?
The only place in which nuclear FUSION takes place is in stars (the sun included), and in the detonation of a hyndrogen bomb. If you are asking about nuclear FISSION (an entirely different process), restate the question.
Is the energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy?
The energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy is true. Nuclear fusion is mass that is converted to energy and nuclei combinations.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Which term is used to indicate the process in which two small atomic nuclei emerge from a larger one?
nuclear fusion
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
The suns energy comes from a process called what?
fusion; this process fuels the sun with hydrogen
What is the Nuclear process that occurs in the core of the sun?
Nuclear fusion.
Where does a star get its energy?
By converting hydrogen to helium using nuclear fusion
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Is it so that light and heat from a star are made by chemical process called nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion, yes. But that's not a chemical process.
In a nuclear reaction energy is release by the combination of two elements into a new element is the process of what?
The process of combining elements to create a new element is nuclear fusion. As we normally consider it, in this process, a great deal of energy is liberated. They are exothermic. But there are types of fusion that are endothermic, though we only encounter them in something like a supernova.
What process powers a star?
nuclear fusion
What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
What are the process in which nuclei with small masses are combined to form a nucleus with a larger mass?
Combining the nuclei of atoms is called Nuclear Fusion. A reaction that is found in stars.
