It is generally thought that as the gasses needed to create a star collect, the gravity that is pulling them together will compress and heat that gas so much that at some point fusion will spontaneously begin.

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.


What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?

Nuclear Fusion


How does gravity initiate nuclear fusion in stars?

Gravity initiates nuclear fusion in stars by exerting a strong force that causes hydrogen atoms to collide and fuse together, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This process, known as nuclear fusion, is what powers the sun and other stars, allowing them to shine brightly.


What is the process occurring in stars to produce energy?

Nuclear fusion


Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.


What is the atomic process that occurs in the core of stars?

Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.


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 heat produced by nuclear fusion causes stars to glow true or false?

True. Heat produced by nuclear fusion in the core of stars causes them to shine brightly and emit light and heat into space.


What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?

That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.
