In the sun and all the other stars it is going on all the time, using the hydrogen contained at great pressure and temperature at the star's core. Controlled fusion on earth has not been achieved yet except for a brief period, less than 1 second, and this involved heating a gas plasma containing hydrogen isotopes to very high temperature, hundreds of millions of degrees, in a torus shaped device known as a tokamak. A magnetic field constrains the ionised plasma into a circular path. This type of device may be successful in the future in achieving steady fusion power, but it will take many years to develop.
The other occurrence is in H-bombs.
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Fusion occurs in the sun.
The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.
No, fission and fusion are two distinct nuclear reactions. Fusion involves the joining of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei. They are not directly connected processes, so fusion does not lead to fission.
One significant difficulty in using fusion as an energy source is the challenge of containing and controlling the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for the fusion reaction to occur.
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Fusion occurs in the sun.
Fusion occurs in the core of the Sun
The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.
Fusion occurs in the core of the sun and other stars.
heat and pressure
Because the conditions of temperature and pressure that occur in stars do not occur on earth
nuclear fusion is not a natural occurrence, it is when two atoms are fused together
No. A white dwarf is the remnant of a star in which fusion as stopped.
Hydrogen fusion does not occur in the corona of the sun. Fusion reactions occur in the sun's core where conditions are hot and dense enough for hydrogen nuclei to combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. The corona is cooler and less dense than the core, so fusion cannot take place there.
