Strictly speaking nowhere in space, because space has no matter in it. Fusion happens in the stars. Fission may occur in some planets somewhere in the universe but not in our solar system

Why no fission on sun?
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
What gives heat and light to all the planets?
Nuclear Fusion and Fission from the Suns' core.
What process generates the heat and energy in present day nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the two processes that are used in the nuclear power plants. Nuclear fission refers to the process of splitting the atomic nuclei while nuclear fusion refers to the process of joining the atomic nuclei.
What does happen within the sun is it fission or fusion?
Fusion only, there are no heavy elements like uranium so there can be no fission taking place
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Is fission and fusion opposite?
No, fission and fusion are not opposites. Fission is defined as the act of splitting into parts and fusion is defined as a coalition of factions or the act of fusing.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?
Fission.
Which do you currently use nuclear fusion or fission?
Fission
Is energy released during fission but absorbed during fusion?
Energy is released during fusion and fission.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
How does nuclear fission happen in the central of the sun?
The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission. Ocassionaly an atom of a heavier element might go through fission, but that's hardly relevant for the working of the Sun.The Sun gets its energy from fusion, not from fission.

Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What is the difference in the processKEY WORD of fission and fusion?
in atomic science, fission is the splitting of atoms, fusion is the fusing of atoms
What are the two basic types of nuclear weapon?
Fission and fusion. All fusion boms are trigered by a fission weapon.
