Why doesn't nuclear fusion occur in the core of planets?

Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures and pressures, which are typically found in stars like the Sun. The cores of planets do not have the same conditions necessary for sustained fusion reactions to occur, so the fusion process is not able to take place there.


Does nuclear fusion occur in the sun's corona?

No, while it is hot enough the pressure is too low.


Does nuclear fusion occurs at cooler temperatures away from the Sun?

Nuclear fusion generally requires high temperatures and pressure to occur. In the Sun, fusion happens at temperatures of millions of degrees. While researchers are working on developing ways to achieve fusion at cooler temperatures on Earth, current technology requires high temperatures to overcome the repulsion between positively charged atomic nuclei.


Does nuclear fusion happen in the convection zone?

No, nuclear fusion does not occur in the convection zone of a star. Fusion reactions primarily take place in the core region of a star, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the star. The convection zone is a region of the star where heat is transported through the movement of gas, but fusion does not occur there.


Does nuclear fusion occur at a low temperature?

No, normally it occurs at temperatures of millions of degrees. It does occur at room temperature, but not in significant amount; any possible practical use of "cold fusion" is, so far, speculation.

At 15.6 million degrees Celsius the temperature of the suns core is high enough for nuclear to occur?

Yes, at temperatures around 15.6 million degrees Celsius in the Sun's core, nuclear fusion reactions can occur. These reactions involve the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei, releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.

For nuclear fusion.

What is the significance of the heat of plasma in the study of nuclear fusion reactions?

The heat of plasma is important in nuclear fusion reactions because it helps to initiate and sustain the fusion process. Plasma, which is a superheated state of matter, is necessary for the atoms to collide with enough energy to overcome their natural repulsion and fuse together. The high temperatures of the plasma create the conditions needed for nuclear fusion to occur, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.

What is the temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur?

The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.


It takes an extremely high temperature for nuclear to occur inside the sun?

Not nuclear, it takes an extremely hight temperature for Fusion to occur with in the sun or any other star. ADDED: Yes "nuclear". Fusion is one of the two type of nuclear reaction, the other being Fission.


When does nuclear fusion occur?

nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together


Where in the Solar System is the temperature high enough to start fusion?

Fusion reactions occur in the cores of stars, including our Sun, where temperatures are extremely high, on the order of millions of degrees Celsius. No other location in the solar system has temperatures high enough to sustain fusion reactions.
