The sun constantly splits billions of hydrogen atoms giving off radiation and heat.
answ2. the temperature and pressure in the interior of the Sun have sufficient energy to promote the reaction of two H atoms combining to make one He atom, and with the emission of a lot of heat energy.

What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
Why doesn't nuclear fusion take place in a white dwarf?
Nuclear fusion doesn't take place in a white dwarf because the core temperature and pressure aren't high enough to initiate the fusion of heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen. White dwarfs have already exhausted their nuclear fuel and are essentially the leftover cores of stars that have gone through their fusion stages.
Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?
No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.
In which part of the sun does nuclear fusion take place?
All I know is that it's either the core, chromosphere, convection layer, or the corona. Which one is it?
Where does nuclear fusion take place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of the sun.

Nuclear fusion doesn't take place in a white dwarf because the core temperature and pressure aren't high enough to initiate the fusion of heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen. White dwarfs have already exhausted their nuclear fuel and are essentially the leftover cores of stars that have gone through their fusion stages.
What is the main type of fusion taking place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes take place to form helium.
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 kinds of temperature are required for a nuclear fusion to take place?
10,000,000 and up.
Where does nuclear fusion naturally take place in the universe?
Nuclear fusion naturally takes place in the core of stars, where high temperatures and pressures allow hydrogen atoms to combine and release energy.
What kind of temperatures are requires for a nuclear fusion reaction to take place?
10,000,000 and up.
Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?
No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.
Why doesn't the fuel in the sun explode in one gigantic nuclear explosion?
Only in the very center of the sun can the nuclear fusion take place - that is the only part of the sun where heat and pressure are both high enough. As you move outward from the center, the pressures and temperatures both drop below the level necessary to cause fusion. Hence, the star has a state of equilibrium.
