Question

The reaction responsible for the production of energy in the sun is ______.

Options

• Nuclear Fusion

• Nuclear Fission

Answer 1

The reaction responsible for the production of energy in the sun is nuclear fusion.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process where light atomic nuclei (primarily hydrogen isotopes) combine to form a heavier nucleus (helium), releasing a tremendous amount of energy. This reaction occurs continuously in the sun’s core due to the extreme temperatures and pressures present there.
