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.
The sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core. These reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.

Where is the sun's energy less intense?
The further you get away form the sun the less intense its radiation gets.
Where sun gets its energy from?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion processes happening in its core. Hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing an immense amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This process is what powers the Sun and allows it to shine.
Where does the earth get energy to spin around the sun?
The Earth gets energy from the little elves and pixies that ride elephants and do your mum at night which vibrates the ground and turning it into mineclium energy that turns the Earth around the Sun.
Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?
No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.
Which star gets its energy from its core?
A star gets its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that occur in its core. These reactions fuse lighter elements, such as hydrogen, into heavier elements, releasing energy in the process. This energy is what fuels a star's brightness and heat.
The sun's energy is most likely the result of?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.
How does water gets energy from the sun?
Energy that water gets from the sun is most commonly absorbed in the form of heat.
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.
What is the name of the energy the cell gets from the sun?
The energy the cell gets from the sun is called solar energy. This energy is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis, providing fuel for cellular processes.
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
How does sea grass gets its energy?
From the sun .
Which star gets its energy from its core?
A star gets its energy from nuclear fusion reactions that occur in its core. These reactions fuse lighter elements, such as hydrogen, into heavier elements, releasing energy in the process. This energy is what fuels a star's brightness and heat.
