Question

A star turns matter into energy in the process of

Answer 1

A star is a fusion reactor. Under enormous pressure, resulting from gravity, light nuclei of gases such as hydrogen merge to form helium, and since this process releases energy, the start begins to radiate the excess energy.

Answer 2

Nuclear Fusion is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy inside the atoms due to the forces, that hold together the nucleus of atom is called the nuclear energy.There are two types of nuclear energy, nuclear fusion and fission. The fusion occurs when atoms combine with each other to form a larger atom. This process is active in stars, they get their energy from the nucleus fusion. Inside the stars the hydrogen atoms get converted into helium atoms. It is this process which generates heat and light energy which is emitted by the stars.
