Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. In a fusion reaction, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus. The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear fusion is the process in which lighter nuclei are combined to form heavier ones. Matter lost in this process is converted into energy. The energy produced inside the stars is due to the process of nuclear fusion.
