SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Fusion reactions occur when two nuclei come together to form one atom. The reaction that happens in the sun fuses two Hydrogen atoms together to produce Helium. It looks like this in a very simplified way: H + H → He + ENERGY. This energy can be calculated by the famous Einstein equation, E = mc2.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary source of solar energy, and that of similar size stars, is the fusion of hydrogen to form helium (the proton–proton chain reaction), which occurs at a solar-core temperature of 14 million kelvin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fusion powers the Sun and stars as hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, and matter is converted into energy. Hydrogen, heated to very high temperatures changes from a gas to a plasma in which the negatively-charged electrons are separated from the positively-charged atomic nuclei (ions).

Detailed explanation-4: -A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a closed circuit.

Detailed explanation-5: -From hydrogen to helium in three steps In the first stage two protons combine and one of them converts into a neutron to form a nucleus of the heavy isotope of hydrogen known as deuterium. Next, the deuterium nucleus combines with another proton to form the light helium isotope known as helium-3.
