At 10, 000 degrees Celsius, hydrogen begins to change into helium and energy is released in a process called nuclerar fusion, this process occurs in: ____
A
Planets. This is the reason planets reflect the sun´s light.
B
Stars. That´s one of the reason stars have their own light.
C
Earth´s core. This is the reason the core is melting the mantle.
D
Stars. This is the reason stars are balls of fire.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the core of the Sun hydrogen is being converted into helium. This is called nuclear fusion. It takes four hydrogen atoms to fuse into each helium atom. During the process some of the mass is converted into energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The fusion reaction that powers the Sun and stars is a reaction in which hydrogen atoms combine to produce deuterium and then deuterium and hydrogen atoms fuse to make helium with the release of energy.
