A star
A star is the object that forms from the contraction of a large sphere of gases, leading to nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements. This process releases energy in the form of light and heat.

Lighter elements are composed of fewer protons and neutrons compared to heavier elements. They tend to have fewer total nucleons and lower atomic numbers. Lighter elements are typically found at the beginning of the periodic table, while heavier elements are found towards the end.
The nuclear process that converts helium and hydrogen into heavier elements is nuclear fusion. In this process, the nuclei of lighter elements combine to form the nuclei of heavier elements, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This is the process that powers stars like our Sun.
The Earth is said to be undergoing differentiation when heavier elements sink towards the core and lighter elements rise to the top. This process results in the formation of distinct layers within the Earth based on differences in density.

This process is known as nuclear fusion. It occurs in stars like the sun when lighter elements such as hydrogen are combined to form heavier elements like helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Nuclear fusion, of lighter elements onto heavier elements.
That process is known as nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion, lighter elements such as hydrogen combine to form heavier elements, releasing energy in the process. This is the process that powers stars like our sun.
Hydrogen undergoes fusion, not fission. Fusion is the process of combining lighter elements, like hydrogen, to form heavier elements and release energy. Fission, on the other hand, is the process of splitting heavier elements into lighter ones.

Lighter elements tend to have neutrons equal to protonms or only a slight excess. Heavier elements have an excess of neutrons over protons
