No, fission and fusion are two distinct nuclear reactions. Fusion involves the joining of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei. They are not directly connected processes, so fusion does not lead to fission.
Fusion occurs in the sun.

Not typically. When a star burns it starts with fusion of Hydrogen. Later heavier atoms are formed, also by fusion. It is believed that the very heavy atoms, that release energy when split (fission) are only formed by very massive stars . These atoms are also formed by fusion. When one of these very massive stars explodes (super nova) it spews out its atoms and during this process its possible some fission will occur, but for the most part star evolution is a fusion story.
Detonation of a fusion hydrogen bomb is initiated by the primary fission bomb, which generates high temperatures and pressures needed to trigger fusion reactions in the hydrogen isotopes. The fission bomb compresses and heats the fusion fuel to the point where nuclear fusion reactions can occur, releasing vastly more energy than the fission reaction alone.
In fusion reactions, nuclei need to overcome the strong electromagnetic repulsion to merge and release energy, requiring high temperatures to achieve the necessary kinetic energy. In fission reactions, nuclei need to be bombarded by neutrons to induce a split, a process that can occur at lower temperatures.

Fission does not occur in the sun, it is fusion which produces the sun's energy
Never, only fusion

I currently use nuclear fusion.
Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.
Fission.

In fusion reactions, nuclei need to overcome the strong electromagnetic repulsion to merge and release energy, requiring high temperatures to achieve the necessary kinetic energy. In fission reactions, nuclei need to be bombarded by neutrons to induce a split, a process that can occur at lower temperatures.
Fission reactions typically occur in nuclear reactors where heavy atomic nuclei split to release energy. Fusion reactions, on the other hand, occur in stars like the Sun where light atomic nuclei combine to release energy. Both processes play a crucial role in generating energy and elements in the universe.
