What is given off during fusion?
helium and some neutrons
Is the total mass after fusion greater or less than before fusion?
The total mass is less after a fusion reaction. Some of the mass is converted into energy and given off due to the nuclear fusion reaction. For example. 2 atoms of hydrogen are fused to become 1 atom of helium. However, the helium atom will have less mass than the combined mass of the 2 original hydrogen atoms. The excess mass is lost via the energy given off from the nuclear fusion reaction.
What process inside the sun is responible for producing it visible light?
The process responsible for producing visible light in the sun is nuclear fusion. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of visible light and heat. This ongoing nuclear fusion reaction is what powers the sun and allows it to emit light.
What products are given off during a typical nuclear fission reaction?
During a nuclear fission reaction, products such as two or more lighter nuclei, neutrons, gamma rays, and energy are given off. These products can vary depending on the specific isotopes involved in the reaction.
Do fusion reactions provide nuclear power?
No, a fission reaction is not necessary to trigger a fusion reaction, but for us on earth, it is. In the field of nuclear weapons, a fission bomb is needed to create the heat necessary to set off a fusion weapon. We have to use fission, or, rather, the energy created by that, to initiate the fusion reaction. It might be possible to use a high power source, like a laser, on a small amount of material to get fusion to occur. But we are still experimenting with this in the Tokamak, and it's far from being a done deal. Stars are, in general, massive nuclear fusion reactors. Their constant consumption of fuel powering their high rate of fusion creates a massive amount of energy, and the stars' huge gravity keeps this process from blowing the whole thing apart. No fission is needed to sustain this reaction.
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation are given off by stars using energy released during?
Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation are given off by stars using energy released during nuclear fusion processes occurring in their cores. As a star converts hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion, tremendous amounts of energy in the form of light and heat are produced and emitted into space. This is what provides the light and warmth we receive from stars such as our Sun.
What is light and heat given off by sun?
The light and heat given off by the sun are actually high energy produced by nuclear fusion of hydrogen.
What is given off during fusion?
helium and some neutrons
The energy and particles given off during a nuclear reaction are called?
Radiation

Why are mechanical arms used in nuclear power stations?
the reason mechanical arms are used is because in a nuclear power station nuclear radiation is being constantly given off by the fusion. therefore if a human hand or any other part of the body were to enter and be blasted with radiation and be deformed for life or will be instanly killed depending on the amount of radiation given off.
What is fusion ignition?
Fusion ignition refers to the manner in which a fusion reaction is "ignited" to make it happen. In nature stars, which are huge fusion reactors, using their enormous pressure to compress and heat matter (mostly hydrogen) when they are first formed. This massive heating and pressure "triggers" or "ignites" the fusion chain reaction. The chain will then be sustained by the heat given off during the fusion process, with massive gravity keeping the whole thing "under control" or "in one place" so it will continue. During this process the hydrogen is pushed/compressed together so far that it goes past the repulsive nuclear forces (which produces the nuclear fusion energy) and is then converted into the element known as helium. This refers to reaching the very high temperature required to achieve nuclear fusion. It could be in a tokamak type reactor such as JET, or the laser being built in California
Light and heat given off by the sun is called?
The light and heat given off by the sun is called solar energy. Solar energy is produced by nuclear fusion reactions in the sun's core, which create electromagnetic radiation that reaches the Earth.
What kind of energy is given off from nuclear fusion reaction and from a nuclear fission reaction?
Nuclear fusion reactions release energy in the form of high-energy photons (gamma radiation) and kinetic energy of the reaction products. In nuclear fission reactions, energy is given off in the form of gamma radiation, kinetic energy of the fission fragments, and in some cases, neutrons.
