Question

Explain how nuclear fusion in the Sun produces the sunlight we see on Earth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The vast amount of hydrogen atoms in the sun core are compressed and heated so much that they fuse together . This is called nuclear fusion,convert hydrogen atom into helium..

Answer 2

Answer:

• Deep within the sun's core, fusion creates massive heat energy, which warms the hydrogen that makes up the sun into plasma, the fourth state of matter.

• Plasma, which is extremely hot, emits both light and heat. This is what we call Sunshine or Sunlight here on Earth. It's what keeps us warm, controls our weather, allows plants to develop, and so on.

• The sun does not burn hydrogen; instead, it fuses it into helium. The mass of all stars causes the fusion that is at their core.

• To become a star, it must have enough mass to provide enough gravity for the hydrogen atoms at its core to fuse into helium atoms and release enough energy to transition the state of the hydrogen in the body to a state of plasma.

• The plasma is responsible for ejecting light and heat energy into space.
