Fusion is caused by pressure. The Sun has enough mass to force atoms to press together, fuse. Imagine u have a peanut jelly sandwich. If u sit on it all the ingredients sort of meld together in a sandwich mush. That's what is happening inside the Sun The weight on top of the hydrogen caused by gravity is pushing it together to make Helium.

Which of the following is the main energy source for our sun?
Nuclear fusion is the source of the sun's energy.
The suns energy comes from a process called what?
fusion; this process fuels the sun with hydrogen
What is the name of the process that the sun uses to create Energy?
Nuclear fusion. Stellar fusion in volves a number of different fusion reactions throughout the star's life, but the primary and (usually) the longest burning is the fusion of hydrogen into helium. This consumes most of the nuclear energy in the sun, and it usually accounts for the type of fusion that goes on for most of the life of the star. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the proton-proton chain, which is the "technical term" for hydrogen fusion into helium.
The sun's energy is most likely the result of?
