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.

During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the sun and other stars, contributing to light and heat production. After hydrogen transforms into helium, other elements can be formed through further fusion reactions in the star's core.
The fusion of hydrogen to helium occurs at the core of stars, such as our Sun. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of light and heat, which powers the star and sustains its stability. It is through this fusion reaction that stars shine and provide heat and light to their surrounding systems.
Fusion of hydrogen atoms occurs in the core of stars, where intense heat and pressure cause hydrogen nuclei to merge and form helium. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat, providing the source of a star's power.
The sun creates several different kinds of heat. Specifically, the sun gives of ultraviolet radiation, along with electromagnetic radiation. UV rays are the ones responsible for sun burn in humans.

Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
Fusion and Fission happens at the stars' core.
Most nuclear fusion happens close to the Sun's center, or core. That's where the temperature and pressure are greatest.
During a solar nuclear reaction, the type of nucleus formed by the fusion of four nuclei is a helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is responsible for the energy production in the core of the Sun.
No. A fusion event requires a much greater energy density than can exist at the Earth'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.

The rest of the star expands.
The sun produces tremendous energy through the process of nuclear fusion. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This continuous fusion reaction is sustained by the sun's immense gravitational pressure.
no, the core is were the nuclear reaction happens, this causes lots of heat and therfore, the core is hotter. :)
It has to be at hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin, before a fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium will start
