Detailed explanation-1: -Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun’s core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun generates energy deep in its core through nuclear fusion that burns Hydrogen into heavier atoms. As the atoms merge, energy is released, and begins the long journey toward the Sun’s surface. Along the journey, energy is transferred via two of the the methods of heat transfer: convection and radiative transfer.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
