When a star is undergoing nuclear fusion its tremendous gravity is forcing the nuclei of atoms together, releasing extremely large amounts of energy. This release of energy is all that prevents a star from imploding under its own gravity.

Stars generate light by nuclear fusion. That happens in their cores, but the outer layers glow with it.

During nuclear fusion what do stars produce?

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fusionis the process by which multiple like-charged atomic nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy.


Scientific evidence suggests that magnesium is formed by stars during?

Scientific evidence suggests that magnesium is formed by stars during nuclear fusion processes in their cores. As stars undergo fusion reactions, elements like helium and carbon fuse together to create magnesium through successive nuclear reactions. These elements are then released into space when the star reaches the end of its life cycle.
