Yes, fusion reactions involve the merging of two lighter nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, typically resulting in the production of a larger nucleus. This process releases energy in the form of radiation and is responsible for powering stars, including our own Sun.
The fusion of hydrogen nuclei in the sun produces helium, along with energy in the form of light and heat. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is the source of the sun's energy.
Fusion is only possible with small nuclei because larger nuclei have stronger repulsive forces between their positively charged protons, making it harder for them to come together and fuse. Small nuclei have weaker repulsive forces, allowing them to overcome this barrier and fuse together to release energy.
Nuclear fusion is the process of combining two small nuclei to produce heat and one larger nucleus. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the same process that powers the sun and stars.
You are thinking of nuclear fusion, where in the stars hydrogen forms into helium with energy release
Nuclear fusion is the process in which energy is released as the nuclei of atoms combine to form a larger nucleus. This process is what powers the sun and other stars, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process.
A variety of different fusion reactions are possible. In our sun, which is classified as medium sized, it is fusion of hydrogen nuclei, ie protons, to form helium. In larger stars, especially red giants, larger nuclei react in fusion, so that larger and heavier nuclei get formed.

Small nuclei combine to form larger nuclei
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.

Small nuclei have weaker repulsive forces, allowing them to overcome this barrier and fuse together to release energy.
The process of combining nuclei with small masses to form a nucleus with a larger mass is called nuclear fusion. This occurs in stars where intense heat and pressure overcome the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged nuclei, allowing them to fuse together. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
Good question. A fusion bomb combines (fuses) light nuclei (hydrogen) into larger nuclei to get its energy. But it needs a fission bomb to start it. A fission bomb breaks up (fissions) heavy nuclei (uranium/plutonium) into smaller nuclei to get its energy.
