The Sun, like all stars, generates energy by fusion reactions deep within the star, where the heat and pressure cause atomic nuclei to fuse into heavier elements. Most of the Sun's energy comes from fusing hydrogen into helium.

Is nuclear fission a result of the suns energy?

No -> NASA doesn't mention that at all.


Why do suns hold energy?

Energy can be obtained by converting hydrogen into heavier elements (nuclear fusion). Suns usually have lots of hydrogen, which was available from the early stages of the Universe.


Why is energy produced in the suns core?

Energy is produced in the sun's core through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. The high temperatures and pressures in the core of the sun provide the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.


Primary source of the suns energy is?

The primary source of the sun's energy is nuclear fusion. This process occurs in the sun's core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.


When is the Suns energy produced?

The energy was basically there since the beginning of the Universe, i.e., the Big Bang. The Sun converts the energy through a process called nuclear fusion.


What is the primary source of the suns energy?

Nuclear fusion. Mainly, hydrogen-1 is converted to helium-4.


How does the suns energy become your energy?

The sun's energy is harnessed by plants through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy in the form of sugars. When you eat plant-based foods or animals that have consumed plants, you obtain the stored solar energy, which your body then metabolizes to fuel your cells and provide you with energy.
