Fusion reactions occur under immense pressures, such as those found in the centre of the sun. To artificially produce fusion reactions here on earth, we either use MCF (magnetic confinement fusion) or ICF (inertial confinement fusion) to create the pressure and temperature necessary for small elements to fuse together, releasing energy.

Is the energy conversion process of nuclear fusion appears to best explain the source of solar energy?

Yes, nuclear fusion is the process by which the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. This process releases vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat, making it the most plausible explanation for the source of solar energy.


What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?

Nuclear Fusion


What is the antonym of nuclear fusion?

The antonym of nuclear fusion is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, while nuclear fission is the process of splitting a heavy atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei.


What is the Nuclear process that occurs in the core of the sun?

Nuclear fusion.


Where does a star get its energy?

By converting hydrogen to helium using nuclear fusion


Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?

The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.


Is it so that light and heat from a star are made by chemical process called nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion, yes. But that's not a chemical process.


What process powers a star?

nuclear fusion


What is the reaction of nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.


What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?

That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.


In a nuclear reaction energy is release by the combination of two elements into a new element is the process of what?

The process of combining elements to create a new element is nuclear fusion. As we normally consider it, in this process, a great deal of energy is liberated. They are exothermic. But there are types of fusion that are endothermic, though we only encounter them in something like a supernova.
