A star forms from a cloud of gas and dust that collapses under the force of gravity. As the cloud becomes more compressed it heats up, eventually becoming hot enough to fuse hydrogen.

Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
What is the process by which stars burn brightly?
Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Are stars nuclear powered?
yea by nuclear fusion
Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
Nuclear fusion.
What are stars powered by?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
What are powers stars?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
How do stars get their energy?
Nuclear Fusion
Can planets generate nuclear fusion?
No. That's precisely the main difference between planets and stars - that stars can have nuclear fusion, planets not.
What does Nuclear Fusion have to do with stars?
The stars produce their heat from nuclear fusion reactions. Work on earth to produce controllable nuclear fusion is concentrating on one particular reaction, between deuterium and tritium, because it is the easiest to get going (though hard enough!). Stars operate with other reactions but all of the nuclear fusion type. You can read more in Wikipedia 'Nuclear fusion'
Nuclear fission where is it found?
stars.... stars are made of hydrogen, helium, and nuclear fusion
How does nuclear energy get created naturally?
Nuclear fusion in the stars
