Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.

What is the benefit of nuclear fusion and What is one thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?

The benefit of nuclear fusion is its potential to provide a virtually limitless and clean energy source with minimal environmental impact. One thing nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common is that they both involve the release of energy by altering the nuclei of atoms, although through different processes.


What does the stars have to do with nuclear energy?

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, including our sun. The intense heat and pressure in the core of a star creates the conditions necessary for nuclear fusion to occur, releasing vast amounts of energy. Scientists are working on harnessing this same process for practical energy production on Earth through nuclear fusion reactors.

Is nuclear fusion in the sun wind energy?

No, nuclear fusion in the sun is not wind energy. Wind energy is generated from the kinetic energy of moving air masses, while nuclear fusion in the sun is the process by which the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium.
