The mass of hydrogen that is converted into helium by fusion reactions during a one second interval is one cubic millimeter. This occurs during the elemental change and actually shrinks the mass of the hydrogen.

What is a proton-proton chain?
The proton-proton chain is the name given to one common fusion reaction occurring in stars by which hydrogen is converted to helium, along with the release of energy.
Why does the sun continuously burn?
It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.
When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium atoms to produce?
fusion
When the cloud contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium what kind of energy does it produce?
fusion
Is the sun made up of mostly hydrogen?
Essentially yes; the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion with hydrogen being converted to helium.
Hydrogen becomes what element in nuclear fusion reactions?
Typically, hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4.

What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?
Nuclear reactions in the cores of stars convert hydrogen to helium
What element is undergoing fusion reactions at the suns center?
Hydrogen (into Helium).
What is a proton-proton chain?
The proton-proton chain is the name given to one common fusion reaction occurring in stars by which hydrogen is converted to helium, along with the release of energy.
What is the process through which hydrogen is converted into helium at sun's surface?
Nuclear Fusion
The sun and the fuel it contains?
The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.
What type of energy is the sun's energy source?
hydrogen fusion
Why are nuclear reactions in the sun called fusion reactions?
Because it is the joining together (fusing) of hydrogen nuclei to form helium
What is the process that generates energy in the core of a main sequence star?
The process is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. All stars at their main sequence converts hydrogen to helium giving large energy by during hydrogen atoms into helium nucliiFusion of hydrogen.
Why does the sun continuously burn?
It derives its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that transform, in its nucleus, hydrogen into helium.
What element is created during thermonuclear reactions?
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
