Question

describe why the fusions process is important to stars. Support your response with relevant, credible resources

Answer 1

Nuclear fusion in stars is a crucial process in stars since this fusion process provides energy to stars and acts as fuel. Nuclear Fusion leads to nucleosynthesis. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form deuterium. which on further nuclear reactions forms helium. These fusion processes thus form the energy sources for their planet systems. This nucleosynthesis and fusion processes further lead to the formation of other elements like C, N, O, Be, Li, Boron, etc. Heat is generated within the core of the star during these processes and further transferred to the star's surface. This surface heat gets irradiated and emitted.
