a chain reaction
High temperature, high pressure, and the presence of hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium are necessary conditions for the continuous fusion of hydrogen to occur in a controlled manner.
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star in which fusion as stopped.
Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.
For continuous hydrogen fusion to occur, three essential conditions must be met: first, there must be extremely high temperatures (around 15 million degrees Celsius) to provide the necessary energy for hydrogen nuclei to overcome their electrostatic repulsion. Second, sufficient pressure is required, typically found in the core of stars, to compress the hydrogen atoms close enough for fusion to take place. Lastly, a stable environment is needed to maintain these conditions over time, allowing for the sustained reactions that produce helium and release energy.
Not enough pressure or temperature.
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?

Fusion occurs in the sun.
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Fusion occurs in the core of the Sun
The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
heat and pressure
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
