Because in the sun, nuclear fusion (or thermonuclear reaction) is happening, means an atom core is joined with other's atom core, making it a bigger atom and more unstable. In the sun and other stars, one hydrogen atom is joined itself with the other hydrogen atom and reacting, releasing particles, positron, neutrino and energy. The result is 2H. Then it joined itself with another 1H atom. Then the fusion reaction happens. It's repeating until the third reaction, where 3He is joining with other 3He, releasing two 1H and a 4He. In short, one Hydrogen atom join another one Hydrogen Atom and result two hydrogen atoms, Neutrino, and Positron (1H + 1H = 2H, Positron, Neutrino). This process is repeating twice (although the second time, 2H is joining 1H = 2H + 1H = 3He). Then, the Third time, where the Hydrogen atoms become Helium atoms, they join together and releasing two 1 H and 4He atoms (3He + 3He = 2x 1H, 4He). ( The fusion also the one who detonate the Hydrogen Bomb).

What else can I help you with?
What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?
Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.
When 2 hydrogen nuclei fuse do they make helium?
No, an element depends on the average amount of electrons it has. Actually in stellar nuclear fusion it takes 4 hydrogen nuclei to fuse to make one helium nucleus, the process is called proton-proton burning.
The nuclei of hydrogen has a positive charge How does this affect the chances of nuclear fusion occurring?
The positive charges of hydrogen nuclei cause repulsion, it is very difficult to bring two hydrogen nuclei close enough for them to fuse into helium. However, if they can be forced to fuse, a huge amount of energy is released.
In the process of nuclear fusion four hydrogen nuclei fuse to form a nucleus of what?
A helium nucleus plus energy released. see the link below
What nuclear process coverts helium and hydrogen gases from lighter to heavier elements?
The process is called fusion; hydrogen nuclei are fused together to make helium. At much higher temperatures and pressures, the helium can fuse into carbon and nitrogen and oxygen.
What element is formed when hydrogen nuclei fuse together?
When hydrogen nuclei fuse together, they can form helium. This fusion process is the energy source for stars, including our sun, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium through a series of nuclear reactions.
What is the simplest form of fusion that occurs in stars?
Hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together and produce helium nuclei
When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun nuclei of what are produced?
When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun, they produce helium nuclei. Specifically, the fusion process in the sun involves the conversion of hydrogen isotopes, such as deuterium and tritium, into helium-4 nuclei, along with the release of energy in the form of gamma rays and solar radiation.
When is energy in the sun produced?
..particles (nuclei) fuse together to form heavier nuclei. Initially, two protons fuse together (hydrogen atom nuclei) to form deuterium. These in turn may fuse with further protons, or with another deuterium nuclei to for a helium nuclei. As the heavier nuclei form, lots of energy is released.
What are elements the sun uses to produce energy?
Its mainly going to be Hydrogen nuclii. At the suns core, two protons fuse together (hydrogen atom nuclei) to form deuterium. These in turn may fuse with further protons, or with another deuterium nuclei to for a helium nuclei. As the heavier nuclei form, energy is released. Later on in the Stars life, fusion of the helium nuclii may take place a lot more often, as the preferred fuel of Hydrogen is depleted.

Energy is produced in the sun when two?

What does the fusion of hydrogen nuclei create?
Fusion of two hydrogen nuclei results in the formation of helium and a stray neutron. H31 + H21 -----> He42 + n10 The hydrogen with atomic number 3 is trituim and the hydrogen with atomic no. 2 is deutrium. They both fuse together to form Helium with the release of a spray neutron, accompanied by a large release of energy.
What fuses hydrogen to form helium?
Nuclear fusion is the process that fuses hydrogen atoms together to form helium. This process occurs in the core of stars, including our sun, where high temperatures and pressures allow hydrogen nuclei to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and combine to form helium nuclei.
What nuclei fuse to form oxygen?
Oxygen is produced through repeated hydrogen fusion in stars. One such process would start with the hydrogen atoms fusing to form helium. And then the helium would fuse to form beryllium. That in turn would fuse to create oxygen.
The nuclei of hydrogen has a positive charge How does this affect the chances of nuclear fusion occurring?
The positive charges of hydrogen nuclei cause repulsion, it is very difficult to bring two hydrogen nuclei close enough for them to fuse into helium. However, if they can be forced to fuse, a huge amount of energy is released.
