What happens during the fusion reaction of the suns core?
Elijah Yambo
Nuclear fusion, the source of all the energy so generously radiated by the Sun, does two things: it converts hydrogen into helium (or rather, makes helium nuclei from protons) and it converts mass to energy. ... If the fusion reactions in the core become too weak, a star can and does collapse.

How are heavier elements formed from hydrogen within the core of a star?
by the process of nuclear fusion
What happens during Stage 3 of cold water immersion?
The organs in the core of your body are cooled, eventually leading to loss of consciousness and death.
Is there plutonium in a hydrogen bomb?
Yes, the core of the fission primary stage and the rod shaped "sparkplug" running the length of the fusion secondary stage (and any additional fusion stages) are usually made of plutonium.
What happens to glucose when it has been stripped of all its protons and electrons?
Stripping an atom of all its protons and electrons is not possible. It would just be a core.
What does a hydrogen ion donate?
A hydrogen ion, when in reaction, usually donates its core which essentially is a proton that attracts negative charges, which in turn makes the positively charged hydrogen ion an electrophile.
What is the reaction that happens in a stars core is?
nuclear fusion
Where does the fusion reaction occur in the sun?
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
Where does solar fusion form on the sun?
Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.
WHAT ZONE IN THE SUN IS WHERE the thermonuclear reaction take place?
Most nuclear fusion happens close to the Sun's center, or core. That's where the temperature and pressure are greatest.
What reaction produces the suns energy?
nuclear fusion reactions at the core of sun
Could there be a fusion reaction in the earths core driving the heat and magnetic field?
No. A fusion event requires a much greater energy density than can exist at the Earth's core.
How does the sun prodace trmendous energy it releases every second?
It produces so much energy because of the nuclear fusion reaction that happens in the Sun's core every second. Nuclear fusion releases tremendous amounts of energy.
Is it possible for fusion reaction to be happening at a planets core?
No. Fusion requires high concentrations of Hydrogen. Planets are made from substantially heavier elements. Additionally, a planet massive enough to begin a fusion reaction literally becomes a star.
Is it possible for fusion reaction to be happening at planet's core?
No. Fusion requires high concentrations of Hydrogen. Planets are made from substantially heavier elements. Additionally, a planet massive enough to begin a fusion reaction literally becomes a star.
When the core of a star shrinks after hydrogen fusion stops the core heats up but what happens to the star?
The rest of the star expands.
What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
What does increased temperature from contraction in the core cause the helium core to do?
This phenomenon happen during the red phase collapse of smaller stars. The contraction in the core of the star causes the helium to go into a runaway fusion reaction that releases an immense amount of energy for a brief time.
