Question

1. Where in our sun is energy produced, and how does the

process occur?
a. Nuclear fusion produces energy in the core of stars,
including our sun.
b. Energy is produced in a star's corona by nuclear
fission.
C. A star's radiative zone produces energy by nuclear
fusion.
d. All stars generate energy by nuclear fusion at the top
of convection cells.

Answer 1

Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun's core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a, pp (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.
