What is a fission where does it take place in the sun?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of the nucleus of an element, it only happens to certain ones, most often Uranium 235 but also Plutonium 239. It does not take place in the sun at all, the sun is powered by nuclear fusion which is the joining together of hydrogen nuclei to form helium.
How does nuclear energy relate to the sun?
We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.
Is the sun a atomic bomb?
I question why this is in the "Japan in WW2" section, but regardless. No, the sun is obviously not a bomb. However, you probably meant to ask something like, does the sun behave similar to an atomic bomb. The answer is, kinda. Most a-bombs use fission, while some use small fission reactions to create a fusion reaction, and are thus similar to the fusion reaction which makes the sun what it is.
Can a star reflect the sun's light?
Stars are themselves celestial bodies that emit light by atomic fusion and fission and is not a dead planet to reflect our sun's light.
Which is the cause of the sun energy?
Nuclear fission is the source of the sun's energy. It is a process in which an atom of hydrogen fuses with another atom of hydrogen, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. It is quite the opposite of nuclear fission, which is the source of atomic energy.
What is sun fission?
Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
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.

Where is fission commonly seen?
Our sun. The source of solar energy is due to nuclear fission.
Where in space do fission and fussion reactions happen and what is the result?
Fission and fussion manly occar in a star or a sun. The reason that a star or a sun is bright is because of the heat that is given off of from fission and fussion.
Is fussion or fission happening in the sun?
fusion
What gives sun its energy?
nuclear fission
Is the sun a star or a planet and what is it made from?
Our sun is a star, and is fuelled by Nuclear Fission.
How is the sun an example of nuclear energy?
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion (not fission) at the core of the sun.
How does sun give you energy?
Sun provides us energy by process of nuclear fission reaction.
Is uranium on the sun?
no. the sun uses fussion, not fission. fussion requires two hydrogens that "fuse" to make a helium, which gives off a lot more energy then fission. It does not require uranium.
Is fission in the moon?
The moon is a solid rock that reflects the sun's light back to Earth. It does not under go wither fission or fusion.
