Question

What type of nuclear reaction does the Sun use to produce energy, as mentioned in the question?

a) Fission
b) Fusion
c) Splitting
d) Combustion

Answer 1

The Sun uses nuclear fusion to produce energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sun uses nuclear fusion to produce energy. Fusion of light elements, mostly hydrogen, powers energy release in the Sun and other sun-like stars. In nuclear fusion, two nuclei are combined to form a larger nucleus, releasing a significant amount of energy. This process of combining lighter nuclei to make a heavier nucleus is how the Sun generates its energy.
