More hydrogen is not produced. Solar fusion occurs in a plasma, or very hot gas, under very high pressure, containing ionised hydrogen atoms, which is the same as saying protons. The fusion reaction between protons produces helium nuclei and releases energy.

On earth the most promising plasma is one with a mixture of deuterium, which is one proton plus one neutron, and tritium which is one proton and two neutrons (both isotopes of hydrogen). The end product is helium with release of energy

Does fusion occur only under extremely high temperatures?

Nuclear fusion of light elements is the process operating in the stars to produce energy, and needs very high temperature to occur. Experiments on earth to aim at producing useful power from fusion have been progressing for many years. The reactants most likely to be used are isotopes of hydrogen, deuterium and tritium. These need to be heated to some hundreds of millions of degrees kelvin before reaction starts. Fusion reactions have been seen, but only for less than 1 second so far. Fusion is not a chemical reaction, it is a nuclear process.


Why do nuclear reactions take place inside the core of the sun?

Because of the energy source and it can also provide the needed speed for fusion. +++ Not speed. The nuclear fusion of is hydrogen to helium, and it occurs because the core of the star as it developed gained sufficient pressure and temperature for the reaction to start and become self-sustaining. The outer regions of a star are neither hot enough nor compressed enough for fusion to occur.


Why does a fission reaction occur more readily than a fusion reaction?

Fission reactions are sustained by normal decay of radioactive material. All you need is a sufficient quantity of it in a small enough space and you can have a controlled or uncontrolled reaction. Fusion requires the collision of atoms at very high energies, something that is not easily done. That requires a particle accelerator or the blast from a fission reaction to achieve.
