Finding the origin of X-rays is the most difficult study in astrophysics, yet could be resolved taking 25 years. The existence of Bharat radiation in solar spectrum unfolded definite presence of radioisotopes on sun's core surface. In 2013, it was reported solar flare represents nuclear fallout from 235-Uranium fission. Therefore, cosmic X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles originate as a result of Uranium fission. For the same reasons Uranium fission takes place in stars.

Is there a place other then the Sun that nuclear reaction happens?

Yes - all the millions of other stars in the Universe, where fusion occurs. Also of course fission reactions in all nuclear reactors on earth


What is the most common nuclear reaction?

The most common nuclear reaction is nuclear fusion, where atoms combine to form a heavier nucleus. This reaction is what powers the sun and other stars, as well as hydrogen bombs.


Is the proton proton reaction an example of a fission reaction?

No, this is the fusion reaction which occurs in the sun and other stars. See the link below.


What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?

Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.


Nuclear fission where is it found?

stars.... stars are made of hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion


What kind of nuclear reactive occurs in the sun fusion or fission?

The nuclear reaction that occurs in the sun is fusion. This process involves the fusing of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. Fusion is the main source of energy for the sun and other stars.


Why is nuclear energy is said to be the fuel of the universe?

The stars are powered by nuclear fusion, so this is widespread. Nuclear fission is more unusual and probably only occurs in certain planets where there is a lot of uranium.


How is hydrogen changed into helium in nuclear fission?

Hydrogen is not changed into helium in nuclear fission. In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more lighter atomic nuclei are forced together and are fused into a heavier nucleus. In the case of the formation of hydrogen into helium, our sun does that in what is called the proton-proton reaction.


A reaction in which small nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus?

This is a nuclear fusion reaction, where two or more small atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This type of reaction is the process that powers the sun and other stars.


What is a nuclear power energy?

Nuclear power energy, as you know it in "nuke power plants" is based on nuclear fission.Nuclear fission is splitting apart a relatively stable radioactive material. This creates A LOT of energy.The dream in the pipeline is nuclear fusion, which is what naturally occurs in stars like the sun. This is fusing atoms together instead of splitting them.The only problem at the moment is stabilising the reaction and keeping it stable. Then we can though, it will produce much more energy than fission, be safer in its reaction and produce less waste.


Does lithium form from nuclear fission?

No, lithium does not form from nuclear fission. Lithium is created in stars through nuclear fusion processes. In nuclear fission, heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones, releasing energy in the process.


Briefly how does a hydrogen bomb works and how it is different from an atom bomb?

In short A-bombs use nuclear fission, H-bombs use nuclear fusion. An atom bomb is more commonly a reference to fission bombs which release energy through nuclear fission. Fission is the the chain reaction in which unstable nuclei such as in uranium break down when hit by a neutron (from another breaking down nucleus) Hydrogen bombs on the hand use nuclear fussion is which two hydrogen nuclei are forced together to form helium and release energy. This is the reaction that occurs in stars and it more powerful. H-bombs as a result of their fuel are "cleaner" as they release energy but less nuclear fallout (radiactive material left over)
