Helium fusion is a process that happens as a part of what is called stellar nucleosynthesis. That's a term we apply to the mechanisms working within stars. Stars are fusion engines, and they are powered primarily by fusing the element hydrogen into the element helium (the first and second most abundant elements in the universe, respectively). This process sometimes goes under the name proton-proton reaction. As stars exhaust their hydrogen fuel and build up a lot of helium, they begin to fuse the helium together to form the element carbon in what is called the triple-alpha process.

What else can I help you with?
Where does atomic fusion come from?
I'm not sure what you are asking, but atomic fusion is a process by which two atoms are forced together to form one larger atom. This is the process that drives the sun where it is mostly fusing two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. Fusion reactions can also occur here on Earth in a hydrogen bomb explosion or in a particle accelerator where atoms are smashed together at great velocity and occasionally stick together to form new atoms. This is basically the process by which transuranic elements are created.
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
What is the order in which elements undergo fusion on the sun?
In the core of the Sun, hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium in a process known as hydrogen fusion. This is the primary fusion process occurring in the Sun. As the core hydrogen is depleted, helium fusion into heavier elements like carbon and oxygen will occur in later stages of the Sun's evolution.
When occurs when hydrogen atoms collide?
They interact with each other chemically or by binding together. When 2 or more atoms combine chemically, they create molecules. When they bind together to create a molecule, it is called a compound.
Does hydrogen fusion occur in the corona?
Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.
Can fusion occur when atoms get weld together?
yeah
How does hydrogen fusion occur?
When two hydrogen atoms fuse to become one helium atom.
When does nuclear fusion occur?
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together

What is fusion as opposed to fission and why does it need high temperatures and fast speeds?
Fusion is putting together (atoms ... usually hydrogen atoms), Fission is the breaking apart of atoms. And fusion requires high energy to occur because it requires the nucleus of atoms to touch (collide) - not an easy thing to do (basically impossible using only chemical energy).
How does nuclear fusion generate the suns energy?
Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms. This process releases large amounts of energy in the form of photons. The intense pressure and temperature in the sun's core create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
How does the sun get produce its energy?
The sun and other stars are hot enough and dense enough at their cores for nuclear fusion to occur. Hydrogen atoms fuse together into helium atoms, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.
What causes energy to be released inside the sun?
Energy is released inside the sun through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium. This fusion process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. The sun's immense gravitational pressure and temperature create the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur.
What is the order in which elements undergo fusion on the sun?
In the core of the Sun, hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium in a process known as hydrogen fusion. This is the primary fusion process occurring in the Sun. As the core hydrogen is depleted, helium fusion into heavier elements like carbon and oxygen will occur in later stages of the Sun's evolution.

Natural fusion can occur in places like the sun because of extremely temperatures that do not occur on Earth?
Natural fusion occurs in places like the sun due to the high temperatures and pressures present in its core, which allow hydrogen atoms to fuse together to form helium. These extreme conditions are essential for initiating and sustaining the nuclear fusion reactions that power stars.
Does hydrogen fusion occur in the corona?
Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.
