I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.

What types of reactions occur in a star?

In a star, nuclear fusion reactions occur. These reactions involve the conversion of hydrogen into helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the star and allows it to shine.


Where does nuclear fusion occur in any star?

in the djfafkjkvn


When does fission occur in a star?

Never, only fusion


What chemical reaction produces heat and energy in a star?

it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.


Does fusion occur in white dwarf stars?

No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star in which fusion as stopped.


What reactions occur within the star in the stellar equilibrium?

In the stellar equilibrium, the primary reaction is nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms are fused to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process is sustained by the star's gravitational pressure balancing the force of nuclear fusion. Helium fusion into heavier elements can also occur in more massive stars.


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.


Which part of the newborn star does fusion occur?

In all stars, the fusion only occurs in the inner core.


What energy would be used in a nuclear reaction in a star?

Nuclear fusion.


What kind of reaction occurs to produce energy inside a star?

Nuclear Fusion


What temperature does star fusion begin to occur?

The minimum temperature is about 10,000,000 degrees Celsius.


Is it possible for fusion reaction to be happening at a planets core?

No. Fusion requires high concentrations of Hydrogen. Planets are made from substantially heavier elements. Additionally, a planet massive enough to begin a fusion reaction literally becomes a star.
