Answer:
To make fusion happen, the atoms of hydrogen must be heated to very high temperatures (100 million degrees) so they are ionized (forming a plasma) and have sufficient energy to fuse, and then be held together i.e. confined, long enough for fusion to occur. The sun and stars do this by gravity.

Answer:
Sample Response: For fusion to occur, lightweight nuclei must move at high speeds. This can only happen at temperatures exceeding 10 million K. In addition, density needs to be very high, as found in the core of the Sun.
