None. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. Jupiter, for example, has all the right ingredients to be a star but as huge as it is, it doesn't have enough mass to generate the heat and internal pressure facilitate nuclear fusion. Hope this helps :-)

How nuclear fusion in a main sequence is different from nuclear fusion in a giant star?

Nuclear Fusion in a Giant Star involves Helium being fused into a hydrogen shell that surrounds the core, and Nuclear Fusion in a Main-Sequence star involves Hydrogen being fused into Helium to produce Energy inside of the core.

What gas is produced by nuclear fusion?

In the most common stellar fusion, helium gas is formed from the fusion of hydrogen nuclei.


Is Jupiter a failed sun?

No, Jupiter is not a failed sun. It is a gas giant planet that did not have enough mass to ignite and sustain nuclear fusion like a star.


How are planetary nebulas different from stars?

Stars are balls of gas that undergo nuclear fusion and have a core, their light come from the energy released during nuclear fusion. Planetary nebulae are the blown-off shells of dying red giant stars, the light of a planetary nebula come from ionized gas and light of other stars.


Is Jupiter a failed star?

No, Jupiter is not a failed star. It is a gas giant planet made mostly of hydrogen and helium, while stars are made mostly of hydrogen and undergo nuclear fusion to produce energy. Jupiter does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion and become a star.


What gas is the fuel for a red giant star?

The fuel for a red giant star is mainly hydrogen gas, which undergoes nuclear fusion at its core to produce helium. This fusion process releases energy in the form of light and heat, causing the star to shine brightly.
