The fusion that starts off with Hydrogen atoms being pressed together by gravitational forces that are strong enough to resist the outward pressures of the reaction itself pushes the matter to excited states. When an electron jumps to this excited state it releases a photon in the visible spectrum. Other types of radiation are also produced. An electron can be described as both a particle and a wave. Similarly, a photon can be described as a particle and a wave. The electron is wiggling around the nucleus of the atom at a certain frequency close to the speed of light in near empty space. Everything you think you see is 99% empty space with electrons vibrating at the right frequency to reflect photons in a particular spectrum visible to your sense of sight. In addition, many other wavelengths of radiation are emmitted from stars. What is actually happening in any type of reaction that releases energy is energy moving from its organized state, matter, to a state of total chaos adding chaos to our expanding chaotic universe. Your senses can only perceive a minute spectrum of the energies actually emmitted by any reaction. If you were able to sense all energies you would be "blinded by the light". Everything you think you see is 99% empty space, and most of what is really there is not visible to you using your limited senses. Also, everything is energy either structured into matter or chaotic. So what actually causes you to think that a photon was produced? A wavelength hit your disfunctional wavesensor and it sent a chemical and electric message to your brain which told you so? Tracker 13

Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
What is the earths greatest density and this occurs in?
The Earth's core.
What part of the reactor is used to control the speed of the nuclear reaction how does it work?
Boron and/or Cadmium control rods. They are inserted into the core to slow the reaction and withdrawn from the core to speed up the reaction. Both elements have a very high neutron capture crosssection, the more in the core the more excess neutrons they remove from the chain reaction.
What is the 3 step process that occurs in the core of stars?
i have no idea you tell me
Does hydrogen fusion occur in the corona?
No. Hydrogen fusion occurs in the star's core.
What is the name of the nection that occurs in the core of a star that makes it hot and luminescent?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion, in which atoms of hydrogen are fused into atoms of helium, releasing a little energy with each reaction.
What is the name of the reaction tat occurs in the core of a star that makes the star hotter and luminescent?
Nuclear fusion, when hydrogen under extreme heat and pressure will fuse into helium and release a tiny bit of energy.
Where does the fusion reaction occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
Type of chain reaction that makes the sun shines?
Nuclear fusion, in which protons slam into each other to create heavier nuclei, is the process that occurs in the sun's core to provide the massive energy that makes the sun shine.
What is the atomic process that occurs in the core of stars?
Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.
The greatest concentration of metals occurs in earths?
core
Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
How does the sun make its heat?
The heat and pressure in the sun's core is so intense nuclear fusion occurs spontaneously there. This reaction liberates energy, much of it ultimately in the form of heat.
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
Is the core as hot as the sun?
no, the core is were the nuclear reaction happens, this causes lots of heat and therfore, the core is hotter. :)
What is the earths greatest density and this occurs in?
The Earth's core.
What is The place where an event or action occurs called?
A ON CORE
