What is fusion and fission related to?

Fusion and fission is related to combining (fusion) or splitting (fission) radioactive nuclei, in both cases releasing binding energy (The Strong Atomic Force). Fission is more commonly used in nuclear power plants and A-Bombs, while fusion is more commonly used in H-Bombs and in the Stars.


What is the source of energy for the Sun and other stars?

Nuclear fusion


What kind of nuclear reactive occurs in the sun fusion or fission?

The nuclear reaction that occurs in the sun is fusion. This process involves the fusing of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. Fusion is the main source of energy for the sun and other stars.


Can fision occur in a star?

Not typically. When a star burns it starts with fusion of Hydrogen. Later heavier atoms are formed, also by fusion. It is believed that the very heavy atoms, that release energy when split (fission) are only formed by very massive stars . These atoms are also formed by fusion. When one of these very massive stars explodes (super nova) it spews out its atoms and during this process its possible some fission will occur, but for the most part star evolution is a fusion story.


Is The process that produces the energy in the cores of most stars nuclear fission?

No, it is nuclear fusion. Fission is the splitting of heavy atoms, such as uranium. Fusion is the combining of light atoms into heavier atoms.Stars get their energy from fusion, combining hydrogen into helium, and eventually, helium into metals. (In Astronomy, a metal is any element heavier than helium.)This is both the source of energy for stars, and the explanations why we have metals (oxygen, carbon, etc.) on Earth. The heavy elements were produced in stars; some of them went to space and participated in the formation of new solar systems.


What is the main source of the energy in the sun and other stars?

The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.


What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?

The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.


Where does solar fusion form on the sun?

Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.


What relation do stars have with fission?

None, they rely on fusion


What is the source of stars energy?

Nuclear fusion, usually by fusing hydrogen-1 to helium-4.


What is Alternative energy source produced from atomic reactions?

Nuclear fission is when a neutron is fired at an element with a high atomic number, which splits and releases more neutrons and energy as a result. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and experimental reactors.


The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?

Nuclear fusion. This process releases a large amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as per Einstein's equation E=mc^2. Fusion reactions are the primary source of energy in the sun and other stars.
