  1. not enough heat
  2. not enough pressure

A planet roughly 10 times the mass of Jupiter would be just barely big enough to ignite fusion, but it could not sustain it.

Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?

Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.

What layer of the sun does nuclear fusion occur?

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.


Can a planet go supernova?

No, only large stars go supernova when nuclear fusion breaks down. While white dwarfs can go supernova in some instances, brown dwarfs are failed stars which are not powered by nuclear fusion.


Does size help nuclear fusion occur?

Yes, but on earth we are limited in size
