As 4 hydrogen atoms fuse to make the 1helium energy is release in the process. The Atomic Mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 and it takes 4 of them. The atomic mass of helium is 4.002602.
4 * 1.00974 (hydrogen atomic mass) = 4.03176
But helium's atomic mass is less than that at 4.002602
There is a missing 0.029158 worth of mass that didn't become helium.
The missing mass is converted into energy when the 4 hydrogen's are created by the equation E=mc2. The core is so tightly compressed that this energy "bounces" around being reabsorbed and re-emitted for about 100,000 years, yes I know that sounds made up but this is what I learned in Astronomy. Once it reaches the surface of the sun it is released as the Electromagnetic Spectrum which is Gamma, X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave radiations, and radio waves.
In stars much larger than our sun all the elements up to Iron are formed. Anything heavier than Iron it is theorized are made in supernova.
What else can I help you with?
Which process is most commonly associated with the energy produced by your sun?
fusion of hydrogen it's nuclear fusion, when gravity tries to crush a star it has to produce outward pressure and it does that by converting hydrogen into helium and other heavy elements. But it has to be really hot like in the millions for nuclear fusion to work.
How do energy waves come from the sun?
Energy waves from the sun are produced through nuclear fusion reactions in its core. The intense heat and pressure cause hydrogen atoms to fuse together, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and heat, which then travel through space to Earth.
What is the oppoiste of fission?
I am not sure if there is an opposite of fission, where an atom is split in half, but if there was an opposite it would probably be nuclear fusion, where two nuclei join together giving off energy. Nuclear fusion occurs in space, and it is how the sun gives off its energy.
Is the suns energy kinetic radiant or potential?
The Sun's energy would be considered radiant.Potential energy is energy stored in a system of forcefully interacting physical entities.The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion.
What type of energy does a sun use?
The sun primarily uses nuclear fusion to convert hydrogen into helium, releasing an enormous amount of energy in the process. This energy is in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and heat, that is radiated out into space.
Which process is most commonly associated with the energy produced by your sun?

Which object in space emits light because it releases energy produced by nuclear fusion?
Stars emit light because they release energy through nuclear fusion processes occurring in their cores. During nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. The Sun is the most familiar example of such a star, providing light and energy to our solar system.
Is heat produced by nuclear fusion causes stars to glow true or false?
True. Heat produced by nuclear fusion in the core of stars causes them to shine brightly and emit light and heat into space.
Where is the sun's energy produced?
The energy in the Sun is primarily produced in the core, where nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This energy then travels outward through the Sun's layers before being emitted as sunlight into space.
What produces most of the sun's energy?
Most of the energy of the sun is produced by nuclear fission. The heat at the core convects to surface and is radiated outward into space. The earth is the fortunate recipient of that process.
Can nuclear energy be used everywhere?
Yes. There are virtually no physical limitations to where nuclear power can be used. Nuclear reactors have already been used on land, air and sea... and submerged and in space. Not only we humans use nuclear energy, but it is the primary source of energy in natural processess in the world too. Life on earth depends on the sun's energy, which in part is produced by nuclear fusion in the heart of the star.
Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation are given off by stars using energy released during?
Light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation are given off by stars using energy released during nuclear fusion processes occurring in their cores. As a star converts hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion, tremendous amounts of energy in the form of light and heat are produced and emitted into space. This is what provides the light and warmth we receive from stars such as our Sun.
Which of planets is an immense fusion reactor in space?
The Sun is an immense fusion reactor in space. It generates energy through nuclear fusion reactions at its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing vast amounts of energy in the process.
Source of heat and light energy produced by stars?
Stars produce heat and light energy through nuclear fusion in their cores. The intense heat and pressure within a star cause hydrogen atoms to fuse together to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process is what powers the star and allows it to radiate heat and light into space.
How do star use energy?
Stars fuse hydrogen through nuclear fusion into helium and release the massive resulting energy into space.
Is energy produce by the sun?
Yes, the sun produces energy through nuclear fusion in its core. This energy is then radiated out into space in the form of sunlight.
Is it true that chemical reactions produce the energy that the sun radiates out into space?
Yes this is true it is called nuclear fusion.
