Answer:

Atoms of hydrogen are combined during nuclear fusion to create helium and the energy that keeps the Sun reflecting light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proton-proton fusion is the specific type of fusion that occurs inside the Sun. Protons first combine into helium through a series of steps. Through the release of energy from its core, which radiates and travels across the solar system, this mechanism maintains the Sun warm. The Sun's core is the only place where this process takes place since it is the only region capable of generating the majority of the heat produced by fusion.
