Yes, in Red Dwarf Stars. However, the temperatures required for fusion are still pretty high, millions of degrees Celsius.

What are the technical problems relatd to nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion normally occurs at high temperatures and pressures. A fusion reaction would melt the container and would have to be suspended by a magnetic field in a vacuum and the container would have to be continually cooled to prevent a meltdown.


Does nuclear fusion occur at a low temperature?

No, normally it occurs at temperatures of millions of degrees. It does occur at room temperature, but not in significant amount; any possible practical use of "cold fusion" is, so far, speculation.


When nuclear fusion occurs what form of radiation is released from the star?

Positrons and neutrinos are released by nuclear fusion.


What is the difference between hot nuclear fusion and cold nuclear fusion?

"Hot" nuclear fusion (this is not the term normally used) is exactly what the name implies, the materials are heated, which provides them with enough energy to overcome the normal repulsion of protons. Cold nuclear fusion requires no heating and has not yet been proved, although dozens of Physicists and Electro-Chemists have claimed to have created cold fusion. Cold Fusion relies on other forces, such as pressure, to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion.


Is nuclear fusion a gas liquid or solid?

Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs at extremely high temperatures and involves the merging of atomic nuclei to release energy. It is not in a specific state of matter like gas, liquid, or solid, as it involves the transformation of matter at the atomic level.

What are facts about nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion releases huge amounts of energy. It occurs when the nuclei of elements are fused together at high temperatures and high pressure. Fusion energy is used to produce energy for some of the Earth's cities.

What is the Nuclear process that occurs in the core of the sun?

Nuclear fusion.


What is it called when nuclear fusion occurs on the sun?

Nuclear fusion is the source of all the sun's energy, and all other stars. It is just called nuclear fusion.


What are the technical problems related to nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and immense pressures to start and continue. The problems with a nuclear fusion reactor would be:- 1) the high temperatures would melt the container: therefore, the reaction would have to be stored in a vacuum suspended by a magnetic field and the reactor would have to be continually cooled. 2) nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars such as our sun: unless the fusion reaction was limited in size in some way, it would be likely that our planet is vapourised by the reaction.


Central part of the sun where fusion occurs?

Central part of the Sun where nuclear fusion occurs is called core.


Is it true that nuclear fusion occurs in the sun?

yes


When nuclear fusion occurs what form of radiation is released from the star?

Positrons and neutrinos are released by nuclear fusion.


How does the sun creates its own energy?

The sun creates energy through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. This process occurs in the sun's core, where temperatures and pressures are high enough to initiate fusion reactions.


It takes an extremely high temperature for nuclear to occur inside the sun?

Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star. ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.
