What is the process when hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements?

Nuclear fusion. A tiny amount of mass is also annihilated and released as energy (used in the "hydrogen bomb", and currently the focus of intense research to create usable energy for domestic and industrial use, in place of energy derived in conventional nuclear power stations involving fission of heavy elements, as was also used in the original "atom bomb").

What is this process called when hydrogen nuclei combine with stars to form helium and other heavier elements?
nuclear fusion reaction
What nuclear process occurred when light elements combine to form heavier elements?
Nuclear Fusion
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
Is it true that Hydrogen and Helium were formed by nuclear reaction in the stars and other elements were formed after the Big Bang?
Close, but not exactly. Hydrogen is not formed by nuclear reactions in stars, hydrogen was formed not long after the Big Bang, when the expanding universe had cooled sufficiently that an electron and a proton could combine to form a hydrogen atom. Helium and all the other elements that are heavier than hydrogen, were formed by the process of nuclear fusion, in stars.
What process do stars use to produce light?
Stars emit light through a process called "nuclear fusion", sometimes called "thermonuclear fusion". This should not be confused with "nuclear fission", the process used in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. In nuclear fission, the radioactive substance decays to a substance of lower atomic number (through bombardment of its nucleas), releasing considerable heat in the process. In nuclear fusion, the nuclei combine to form a substance of higher atomic number, again releasing considerable heat in the process.

nuclear fusion reaction
In stars hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements. What is this process called?
This process is called "nuclear fusion".
What nuclear process occurred when light elements combine to form heavier elements?
Nuclear Fusion
What do hydrogen bombs ands stars both produce nuclear with?
The process of fusion, where hydrogen is fused into heavier elements, releasing energy in the process.
How are heavier elements formed from hydrogen within the core of a star?
by the process of nuclear fusion
What is the nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen from lighter to heavier elements?
Nuclear fusion reaction
How are elements formed from hydrogen?
Heavier elements are formed from hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, through a process called nuclear fusion. There are machines or structures in the universe that do this, and we call them stars. It is the process within stars, stellar nucleosynthesis, that allows heavier elements to be created up through iron. Elements heavier than iron are formed in supernova events.

What it a process in which lighter elements stick together to create heavier elements?
The process in which lighter elements stick together to create heavier elements is known as fusion. This is the process that will be used in the synthesis of a heavier atomic nuclei.
How can stars give off their own light?
stars turn hydrogen into heavier elements in nuclear fusion. this process gives off light and heat.
