In the central core, with the proton of the hydrogen atom. Four protons, which have been ionized to remove their electron, are fused together. Two of the protons are changed by the weak interaction into neutrons, and you have a helium nucleus. This is accompanied by the release of energy as heat and other forms of radiation.
What else can I help you with?
Where are nuclear reactions in the sun?
The nuclear reactions are all over the sun but between core and surface the central part observes more.
How is the sun affected by nuclear powers from earth?
The sun is not affected by the nuclear power generated on Earth. The nuclear reactions that power the sun are happening in its core, while nuclear power plants on Earth use fission reactions that do not have the ability to impact the sun's nuclear fusion process.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
How is the sun an example of nuclear energy?
The Sun is an example of nuclear energy because it produces energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. These reactions involve the combining of atoms to release energy in the form of light and heat. This process is similar to how nuclear power plants on Earth generate electricity using nuclear reactions.
What produces energy in the Sun alpha reactions proton splitting nuclear reactions or yellow dwarfs?
The energy output of the Sun derives from nuclear fusion reactions. A yellow dwarf is not a process, it's a type of star, of which the Sun is one.
Where the sun gets its energy?
nuclear reactions at its core
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
What part of the sun is responsible for the sun's energy?
The nuclear reactions in the Suns core
What do nuclear reactions on the sun produce?
Nuclear reaction inside the Sun is fusing of Hydrogen to Helium and release out thermal energy.
Does magnetism produce energy in the sun?
No, the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions
Where and when has nuclear energy been used?
Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear reactions in the Sun primarily involve fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium, releasing energy in the process. In a nuclear reactor, the reactions typically involve fission of heavy nuclei like uranium or plutonium, releasing energy through splitting these nuclei. The conditions and mechanisms governing the reactions in the Sun and in a nuclear reactor are different due to the vastly varying scales and environments of the two systems.
