Nuclear fusion is the process responsible for the enormous energy in the sun. Nuclear fusion occurs when Hydrogen is converted to Helium.
The process responsible for the energy emitted from the sun and all other stars is nuclear fusion. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium under extreme pressures and temperatures, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
Nuclear fusion is the source of the Sun's energy. In the Sun's core, hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of photons. This process is sustained by the Sun's enormous gravitational pressure and temperature.
Energy from the Sun is responsible for providing warmth, sustaining life on Earth through photosynthesis, and driving weather patterns and ocean currents.
Hydrogen. Actually the figure is closer to73.46% hydrogen. 24.85% is helium.

Nuclear fusion - that is the squeezing together hydrogen molecules in the Sun by the Sun's enormous force of gravity. This process releases a huge amount of heat.
The sun's primary source of energy is nuclear fusion, which converts hydrogen into helium. The core of the sun reaches temperatures of about 15 million degrees Celsius, where this fusion process occurs. This process releases an enormous amount of energy that powers the sun's brightness and heat.
The process that produces energy in our sun is called nuclear fusion. The fusion reaction combines hydrogen atoms into helium releasing a great deal of energy. The is the same processed as in the hydrogen bomb.
The primary reaction responsible for energy radiating from stars, including the Sun, is nuclear fusion. In the Sun's core, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. This energy is what fuels the Sun and allows it to shine.
Inside the sun, nuclear fusion occurs, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This process is the main source of the sun's energy output and is responsible for powering the sun and enabling it to emit heat and light.
Looking at it very simplistically, the sun contains an enormous amount of hydrogen inside which through the nuclear fission process produces helium. The process of fission (combing of 2 hydrogen atoms into 1 helium atom) releases tremendous amount of energy. The energy is equivalent to the mass that is lost in the fission process.
The process responsible for the energy emitted from the sun and all other stars is nuclear fusion. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form helium under extreme pressures and temperatures, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.
Nuclear fusion ... the same reaction responsible for the enormous but brief energy output of a "hydrogen bomb".Except that in the core of the sun, it has been going continuously for billions of years.
No it is not. Photosynthesis is responsible for harnessing the energy of the sun to give a plant it's nutrients. Evaporation is the process responsible for changing liquid to vapor (water or otherwise).
The 98% mass of sun is made of hydrogen, which is at extremely high temperature. At such a temperature the hydrogen atoms fuse in one another to form helium atoms and in the process release an enormous amount of heat and light energy. This energy is millions of time more than the energy produced by the combustion of coal. This process is called nuclear fusion.
The sun shines because some of the nuclear energy is transformed into radiant energy. Enormous compression due to gravity and extremely high temperatures in the deep interior of the Sun fuse the nuclei of hydrogen atoms together to form helium nuclei. This is called thermonuclear fusion (a process that releases radiant energy, a small part of which reaches Earth).
The sun gives off light and heat energy through a process called nuclear fusion. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This energy is what sustains life on Earth and warms our planet.
