What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
No, a nuclear chain reaction refers to a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions where the neutrons released in one reaction cause further fissions. Fusion, on the other hand, is the process of combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
Where has the process of nuclear fusion been occurring?
The only place in which nuclear FUSION takes place is in stars (the sun included), and in the detonation of a hyndrogen bomb. If you are asking about nuclear FISSION (an entirely different process), restate the question.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
What process do stars use to produce light?
Stars emit light through a process called "nuclear fusion", sometimes called "thermonuclear fusion". This should not be confused with "nuclear fission", the process used in nuclear power plants to produce electricity. In nuclear fission, the radioactive substance decays to a substance of lower atomic number (through bombardment of its nucleas), releasing considerable heat in the process. In nuclear fusion, the nuclei combine to form a substance of higher atomic number, again releasing considerable heat in the process.
How does nuclear fusion power the sun for 10 billion years?
First, the Sun is pretty big, and there is a LOT of hydrogen. Second, nuclear fusion generates a WHOLE lot of energy.
What is the process occurring in stars to produce energy?
Nuclear fusion

What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is it possible to manufacture helium?
No, it is not possible to manufacture helium. Helium is a naturally occurring element that is produced through the process of nuclear fusion in stars.

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?
