Well, darling, thermonuclear fusion in stars is what gets the helium burning party started! It's like adding fuel to the fire, quite literally. The intense heat and pressure from this fusion reaction in the star's core allows helium atoms to collide and create heavier elements like carbon and oxygen, setting off a fabulous stellar chain reaction. So, in a nutshell, thermonuclear fusion is the scorching hot engine that drives helium burning in stars.

What is thermonuclear warfare?

Thermonuclear warfare is the use of nuclear weapons in war, either tactically or strategically. Although the term "thermonuclear" technically applies only to the process of fusion, the term is loosely applied to conflict involving fission weapons, fusion weapons, or both (informal synonyms are "atomic war" or "nuclear war").
