The sun creates energy through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms fuse together in its core to form helium. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. It happens in the sun's core, where temperatures and pressures are extreme enough to facilitate nuclear fusion.
Elements = atoms If you "cut" an element into pieces, essentially split the atom, you release its energy. This is called fission, nuclear fission to be precise, and leads to a nuclear detonation. Depending on the atom you split, there will be a release of energy and radiation.
If the sun's nuclear reactions stopped, it would eventually cool down and no longer emit light and heat. This would have far-reaching consequences for our solar system, as all the planets rely on the sun's energy for warmth and light. Life on Earth would cease to exist without the sun's energy.
Nuclear reactions in the Sun primarily occur in the core, which is the innermost layer. This region has extremely high temperatures and pressures, allowing hydrogen nuclei to fuse into helium through processes such as the proton-proton chain reaction. The energy produced in these reactions is what powers the Sun and generates its light and heat. Outside the core, nuclear fusion does not occur; instead, the outer layers, including the radiative zone and convective zone, transport the energy produced in the core to the surface.
Nuking the sun is not possible with current technology. However, theoretically, if it were possible, the sun is so massive that a nuclear explosion would have negligible impact on it. The sun's nuclear fusion reactions are much more powerful than any man-made nuclear explosion.
If the sun just went out, we'd still have fossil fuel to burn and nuclear power and such, but plants would begin to die. And it wouldn't be long before energy resources wouldn't matter. Yes, the earth would be cooling rapidly, but the death of plants would spell the doom of all humans on earth.

No nuclear energy, no nuclear weapons
Chemical energy does not change into nuclear energy. Chemical energy is associated with the bonds between atoms in molecules, whereas nuclear energy is associated with changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission or fusion.
1. Oil resources will never get exhusted because they are natural. Every part of d world has it own free gift of nature.
No, an input of energy is not required for nuclear decay to happen in an atom. Nuclear decay is a spontaneous process that occurs when an unstable nucleus emits particles or energy to become more stable.
Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Atoms are tiny units that make up all matter in the universe. Energy is what holds the nucleus together. There is a huge amount of power in an atom's dense nucleus. Nuclear energy is seen when nuclear fusions or fissions happen.
Nothing. There is plenty of other energy resources. There is so much worry about what will happen when all oil reserves are depleted. By that time we will have advanced technology for electric cars that could travel the circumference of the world. A nuclear explosion releases a huge amount of energy. Imagine if that energy can be safely channeled to homes, factories, and transportation. Nuclear reactors are enough to power the world after there is no oil. There is wind power and solar power and many other undiscovered energy sources. When oil runs out there will be a lot of change, but it will work.

In nuclear reactors
Nuclear engineering is a job, but I suppose you mean their duties and responsibilities. Nuclear engineers perform a wide range of activities in their field. They dispose of nuclear waste created by nuclear energy, create machines like x-rays and MRI's that can help diseases, stimulate a nuclear accident so that it won't happen in real life, and also work on ways to make energy more efficient.
