Most likely, that will be helium fusion. This is expected to occur when most of the hydrogen in the core has burnt out, and the Sun has expanded into a red giant. The core will then contract, its own weight no longer supported by hydrogen fusion, until the temperature and density has reached sufficient levels to initiate helium fusion. It is expected that the helium fusion will proceed at an initially uncontrolled rate, producing a helium flash. The sun probably has not enough mass to also reach critical levels required for carbon fusion, which would be the next stage in more massive stars.
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun a nuclear fusion reactor?
Yes, the sun is a nuclear fusion reactor.
What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
How long does the protostellar stage last for a star like your sun?
The protostellar stage for a star like our Sun typically lasts for about 100,000 years. During this stage, the star is accumulating mass from its surrounding disk of gas and dust, contracting and heating up until nuclear fusion ignites in its core.
Where does nuclear fusion take place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of the sun.
What are the products of fusion on the sun?
What is a finalproduct of nuclear fusion in the sun
What is it called when nuclear fusion occurs on the sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of all the sun's energy, and all other stars. It is just called nuclear fusion.
Is the sun's energy generated through nuclear fission or fusion?
The sun's energy is generated through nuclear fusion.
Is nuclear fusion in the sun wind energy?
No, nuclear fusion in the sun is not wind energy. Wind energy is generated from the kinetic energy of moving air masses, while nuclear fusion in the sun is the process by which the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium.
Is the sun nuclear powered?
Yes, nuclear fusion
Is the sun electrical?
No. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion.
Where is nuclear fusion found?
The sun
What does fusion have to do with the sun?
Nuclear reaction
