The only place in the universe where nuclear fusion can occur on its own is in the interior of stars.
After closely observing nature, and adapting its laws to fulfill human requirements,
our advanced civilization has succeeded in creating nuclear fusion at will, on a small
scale. Unfortunately, the only useful application successfully developed so far with our
superior intellect is the construction of nuclear bombs and weapons.

What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
The thermonuclear fusion that occur in the sun is a process involving?
In this process, hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4. Energy is freed up in the process.
What type of reaction occurs when a thermonuclear bomb explodes?
A fusion reaction.
What must occur to achieve''nuclear fusion''?
a chain reaction
What is the source of the light shown in the solar system?
It all comes from thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen inside the sun.
What is thermonuclear fusion takes place?
It simply means that thermonuclear fusion happens.
The suns heat is produced by?
thermonuclear fusion and hydrogen becoming helium... :)
Why does the temperature in the centers of stars have to be extremely high for fusion to occur?
fusion is called thermonuclear for a good reason: it needs a lot of heat to get started.
What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons?
Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
Does the layer of fire on the sun occur in the suns core?
There is no fire in the sun, that is a chemical process. The process in the core is thermonuclear fusion.
What is the energy source for earths weather systems?
Earth mainly gets its energy from the Sun's radiation.
What is thermonuclear reaction in sun?
Nuclear fusion
The thermonuclear fusion that occur in the sun is a process involving?
In this process, hydrogen-1 is converted into helium-4. Energy is freed up in the process.
Thermonuclear fussion occurs mainly where?
Mainly in stars, although some is seen in the secondary of a thermonuclear weapon.
What element is created during thermonuclear reactions?
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
What nuclear energy is the sun powered by?
thermonuclear fusion
