Nuclear fusion takes place only in the core of the Sun, or any star. Extremely high energy (temperatures) are required to force atomic nuclei together. The fusion reaction releases heat energy, which continues the fusion of other nuclei.

Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Where does thermonuclear fusion mainly occur?
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.
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'
What are all-stars driven by?
Stars are driven by Nuclear Fusion.
Where does nuclear fusion occur and why?
In the cores of stars and hydrogen bombs.
Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Why does nuclear fusion not occur on earth?
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
How does nuclear fusion work when stars produce their own energy?
The fusion of Hydrogen into Helium causes heat and radiation to occur.
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 would stars be like if hydrogen rather than iron had the lowest mass per nuclear particle?
nuclear fusion would not occur
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.
Are stars nuclear powered?
yea by nuclear fusion
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Hydrogen bombs and stars both produce energy with nuclear?
Nuclear fusion.
