Nuclear energy, which is a kind of potential energy.
Nuclear energy.
This is produced by nuclear fusion
Nuclear Fusion
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
Nuclear fusion is the process that occurs in the sun that produces energy. Hydrogen atoms are fused together to produce helium. As a result of that fusion, energy is released in the form of heat and light.
Uranium has stored energy (potential energy), more specifically, nuclear energy.
Thermonuclear Fusion - Nuclear fusion brought about by high temperatures
fusion
Stars obtain energy from a reaction called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion causes lighter elements to become heavier elements. The most common reaction fuses hydrogen into helium. But helium can fuse further, to even heavier elements. This releases energy until you reach the element iron. Anything heavier than iron consumes energy, rather than releasing it, when it is formed by nuclear fusion.thermonuclear fusion
The sun can be described as a nuclear fusion reactor - converting hydrogen into helium under intense heat and pressure.
Nuclear fusion or nuclear fission.
