Fusion produces energy more than fission by around 400 times for same mass.
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.

Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
for both fission and fusion is E=Mc2 energy is mass and vise verse, in both fission and fusion some mass gets lost in the process. this mass gets converted to energy.
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
The mass defect due to fission or fusion converts to energy according to the equation: E = m c 2
During fission, the energy released comes from converting mass into energy (calculated by Einstein's famous equation: E = mc2). Therefore, if a fission reaction releases energy, and it does, that energy came from converting mass into energy, thus reducing the mass of the reactants.
the mass of the atom after fusion is less than the mass of the input atoms. The mass of the fragment atoms after fission is less than the mass of the original atom.
Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.
Yes and No. This really depends on what you mean.If you are talking about a single event, the fission of a uranium atom typically releases about 200 million electron volts (MeV). By contrast, the fusion of a deuterium atom with a tritium atom produces about 17.6 MeV. This would seem to mean that fission produces more energy. And it does - per event.On the other hand, a deuterium atom has an atomic mass of 2, and a tritium atom has an atomic mass of 3. So the fusion involving an atomic mass of 5 produces 17.6 MeV. If we had 47 of these, the total mass would be about 235 (roughly the same as 235U) and the result would be 47x17.6 or 827.2. By contrast, 235U has an atomic mass of roughly 235. And the fission involving the atomic mass of 235 produces 200 MeV. This means that the fusion of an equal mass produces (in this particular comparison) a bit more than four times as much power. So fusion can be more powerful - by mass.But fusion of elements more massive than iron is endothermic. So it is always less powerful than fission.Also, there is a practical consideration, if you are interested in practicalities. And this relates to the amount of fuel available. We will run out of uranium and thorium ores. When that happens, fission power will no longer be possible. We will possibly never run out of fuel for fusion fuels. So fusion is a more powerful power source over time. But of course, by this standard, wind is more powerful than fission, because we will run out of the ores, but the wind will just blow on and on.
