Because for nucleur fusion to occur you need a temprature of 10,000,000 degrees C and the inward gravity of a main sequence star, our sun is halfway through its main sequence with about 3,000,000,000,000 years to go until it runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium and then it turns into a red giant.
The easiest fusion reaction to make is between deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen. This reaction requires the least amount of energy to initiate and is being pursued for fusion energy research.
To make a model of a fusion reaction, you can use materials like foam balls to represent atomic nuclei, pipe cleaners to represent the particles involved, and a base to hold it all together. You can then demonstrate the fusion process by bringing the nuclei close together to show how they combine and release energy. Make sure to include labels to explain each step of the reaction.
Developing a fusion reactor for power generation is challenging due to the need to confine and control the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for nuclear fusion to occur. Additionally, managing the plasma within the reactor, handling the intense neutron radiation, and finding suitable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions present further obstacles. Research is ongoing to overcome these challenges and make fusion power a viable energy source.
No, a catalyst alone cannot make a nonspontaneous reaction occur spontaneously. A catalyst can only speed up the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy, but it cannot change the overall thermodynamics of the reaction. In order for a nonspontaneous reaction to occur spontaneously, the reaction must have a negative change in Gibbs free energy (G) value.
Nuclear fusion, which is the process that powers the sun, has not yet been harnessed effectively as a source of electric energy on Earth due to challenges in sustaining the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for the reaction to occur. Scientists are still researching and developing techniques to make nuclear fusion a viable and practical energy source.

This process is know as nuclear fusion, and it produces heat which can be used to convert water into steam for the purpose of mechanical energy production via a turbine in a nuclear fusion reactors.
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.

The first one to become successful in man made fusion will certainly be DT, but DD would be better if it could be made to work, as it would avoid the need to make tritium to feed as part of the fuel, and there are unlimited supplies of deuterium in the earth's waters. By "protium" I suppose you mean the proton-proton reaction as in the sun, this is impossible in man made fusion on earth, as it requires a huge volume and very high pressure as exists at the centre of the sun.
To make a chemical reaction occur, the activation energy is the energy needed to initiate the reaction by overcoming the energy barrier between reactants and products. This energy requirement ensures that the reactants have enough energy to break existing bonds and form new ones during the reaction. It ultimately determines the rate at which a reaction proceeds.
It certainly can. It can also occur at lower or higher temperatures. 15 MK is roughly the core temperature of the Sun. At this temperature the PP chain is dominant, with the CNO cycle contributing roughly an order of magnitude less energy. At around 17 MK the two are roughly equal, and at higher temperatures the CNO cycle becomes dominant. Much below 4 MK, you're not normally going to get significant fusion (there are "cold fusion" techniques that can happen at much lower temperatures, such as muon-catalysed fusion, but these aren't net producers of energy: it takes more energy to make the muons than you can get out of the resultant fusion reaction).
Metroid does NOT have the Fusion Suit, Metroid Fusion has the Fusion Suit, And no human on earth knows how to make a Fusion Suit.
No, a fission reaction is not necessary to trigger a fusion reaction, but for us on earth, it is. In the field of nuclear weapons, a fission bomb is needed to create the heat necessary to set off a fusion weapon. We have to use fission, or, rather, the energy created by that, to initiate the fusion reaction. It might be possible to use a high power source, like a laser, on a small amount of material to get fusion to occur. But we are still experimenting with this in the Tokamak, and it's far from being a done deal. Stars are, in general, massive nuclear fusion reactors. Their constant consumption of fuel powering their high rate of fusion creates a massive amount of energy, and the stars' huge gravity keeps this process from blowing the whole thing apart. No fission is needed to sustain this reaction.
