What is the element used in fusion?
Fusion experiments and designs for fusion reactors generally focus on hydrogen, in the forms of deuterium (hydrogen-2) and/or tritium (hydrogen-3). It should be born in mind that there is not much preventing any atom of any natural element undergoing fusion with something else. In fact, virtually all of what is around us is either hydrogen or something made by fusion, and this includes all the heavy elements like lead uranium.
The suns energy comes from a process called what?
The sun's energy comes from a process called nuclear fusion. In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This is what powers the sun and provides energy to sustain life on Earth.
What is the temperature in a hydrogen bomb?
At the instant of detonation, the temperature at the core of the fusion reaction is high enough for the fusion of deuterium with tritium, and of tritium with tritium (50,000,000°C and 400,000,000°C, respectively.
Does the sun fusion rate remain steady or vary widely?
The sun's fusion rate remains relatively steady due to a balance between gravity compressing the core and the energy produced by nuclear fusion pushing outward. Variations in the fusion rate are minimal and occur over long timescales due to changes in the sun's internal conditions.
How does sun produce thermal energy?
The Sun produces thermal energy through nuclear fusion in its core. Hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This energy is then radiated out as heat and light.
What elements can find in a star?
Mostly hydrogen, helium is also present due to fusion.

Is the sun always a round shape?
its not perfectly round .It is because of continuous bombardment in plasma due to fusion of hydrogen and release of their energy.
water can gain a lot of energy before it changes state, this is due to the property of?
hydrogen bonding
Nuclear fusion powers the sun what elements are fused together in the sun?
It is just protons joining together, which are hydrogen ions, so the only fuel required is hydrogen, the reaction proceeds due to the high pressure at the sun's core, due to the immense gravitational compression. See the link below

How do stars from and get there light?
Stars form when clouds of gas collapse, due to their own gravitation. They get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, converting hydrogen to helium.
What type of nuclei would most likely undergo fusion?
Hydrogen and oxygen. On the sun two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are fused at the core which keeps the suns light going and giving it more energy. The result of this is water. H2( hydrogen 2 ) O( oxygen ) h2o
What is the temperature in a hydrogen bomb?

What makes up the the largest percent of energy released in nuclear detonation?
The greatest amount of energy released is due to the fission (atomic bomb) or fusion (hydrogen bomb) reaction after the the weapon is detonated by one of several means (gun-type trigger, implosion, or boost method). Fission reactions are responsible in most detonations for the greatest amount of energy released; this is due to the fact that hydrogen bombs (fusion) use fission explosions as a detonator, and that the fusion process can also cause further fission reactions.
What is a star that expands due to fusion?
A star that expands is running low on fuel, and is entering its end-of-life sequence. Its not due to fusion - all stars use fusion.
