Question

thermonuclear energy production in the Sun and stars​

Answer 1

Fusion powers stars and produces virtually all elements in a process called nucleosynthesis. The Sun is a main-sequence star, and, as such, generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. The fusion of lighter elements in stars releases energy and the mass that always accompanies it.
