the fusion of 4 hydrogen atoms to form 1 helium atom.
Fusion of light atoms results in new energy,
just as the breaking apart (fission) of heavy atoms does.
It happens that iron is the mid-point (i.e. the atom with the least binding energy).

The cores of stars, such as our sun, have high enough temperatures and pressures to enable fusion of hydrogen nuclii - it is very difficult to fuse these positively charged particle together without these conditions. The mass of the neuclii before fusion is greater than the final mass of the fused particles - some of the mass is converted directly into energy through Einsteins equation E=mc2. m represents the mass, which although very small, is multiplied by the speed of light squred (c2), which is a very large number.

Which star gets its energy from its core?
sun
Does earth produces its own energy?
No, the Earth gets its energy from the sun, not producing its own energy.
What gets it's energy indirectly from the sun?
All animal life on the earth get their energy indirectly from the sun as they consume plants that get their energy directly from the sun or other animals that have consumed plants.
What happens when earth receives energy form the sun?
It gets hot
Where is the sun's energy less intense?
The further you get away form the sun the less intense its radiation gets.

How does a a phototroph gets its energy?
it gets its energy from the sun.
How does water gets energy from the sun?
Energy that water gets from the sun is most commonly absorbed in the form of heat.
Where does coal get its energy?
the sun is where coal gets it energy.
From where does earth gets energy?
the sun
Where does grass gets it energy from?
The sun.
How the rat in the food chain obtains energy in directly from the sun?
it doesn't get energy directly from the sun it gets the suns energy from whatever producers it eats and if its a carnivore than it eats herbivores and herbivores eat producers so the rat gets energy from the herbivore which gets energy from the sun.
How does energy from the sun get to a rabbit?
The grass gets it's energy from the sun and then the rabbit eats the grass.
How the sun gets energy?
By nuclear fusion.
Where does solar energy gets its power?
from the sun
Where does photosynthesis gets its energy from?
light from the sun
Which star gets its energy from its core?
sun
