Answer:

Fusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The core squeezes together so tightly that four hydrogen nuclei combine to form one helium atom. This is the textbook definition of nuclear fusion.

In the sun, two hydrogen nuclides react together to make an atom of helium. the process releases energy. This is nuclear fusion reaction. The Sun uses this reaction to release energy and heat. Hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium nuclei and release energy. The formula that describes this reaction is the following: 1/1H+1/1H->3/2He
