Stars must be formed by the agglomeration of material under gravitational forces. When the mass of material is high enough the pressure in the mass will get to the point where it causes enough heat to start a nuclear fusion reaction, which then goes on producing heat for billions of years.

∙ 12y agoThe suns heat is transfered into light energy. The chemicals from the sun produce the heat and light you see coming from the sun.
================
The sun's energy is produced in the process of nuclear fusion deep in its core ...
a process that can only happen under incredible temperature and pressure. It's
a nuclear process, not a chemical one. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms are forced
to 'fuse' and form nuclei of helium, which liberates energy in the process. We've
been able to initiate this process on Earth, but so far, unfortunately, the only
successful application of it has been in 'thermonuclear' weapons.

How does the sun produce so much heat and light energy?
The sun is a big fire ball made up with hot flaming gas.
Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
What 2 things does the sun produce?
Heat and Energy
Why the light of the moon is not as hot as sun?
The moon does not produce its own heat or light; it merely reflects light from the sun. Since it is relatively small and so far from the sun, it only receives a tiny fraction of the sun's energy, and so is not nearly as hot.
What do stars produce through fusion?
Energy, in the form of heat which is radiated from the sun's surface, together with visible and ultra violet light
What produce the sun?
the sun produces light ,heat ,energy,and so much more
What two types of energy does the sun produce?
Light Energy and Solar Energy are all a part produced by the sun.
From what part of the sun does the sun produce its energy?
The sun is just a great ball of gas and its the atoms in that gas that fuse and give off its energy(in heat and light).
What kind of energy does the sun produce?
The sun produce light and nuclear energy
Which element is plentiful on the sun?
In the definition, sun is a star because it produces its own light and heat. How does it produce such great energy? It uses hydrogen. Hydrogen is the element which is abundand in the sun in order to produce solar energy.
How do you convert heat energy to light energy?
solar energy. heat from the sun gives you heat and changes to light because heat can be used for light.
What are the examples that produce heat and light?
The Sun
What is the energy from the sun?
Energy from the sun is called solar energy. Solar energy is light energy.
What is the sun most responsible in producing?
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
How does the sun produce so much heat and light energy?
The sun is a big fire ball made up with hot flaming gas.
Which object in the universe can make its own light energy?
nebula
What produces heat?
Mechanical energy
