   The simple answer is that deep inside the core of the Sun, enough protons can collide into each other with enough speed that they stick together to form a helium nucleus and generate a tremendous amount of energy at the same time. This process is called nuclear fusion.

   Jan 31, 2021 · The reason why stars (including our Sun) shine relies in the nuclear fusion, driven by the enormous pressure and heat in their center, of hydrogen into helium, which in turn is then consumed to produce carbon, oxygen and other nuclei, releasing a great amount of energy radiated through visible light and other electromagnetic waves.

   Sep 16, 2023 · Our Sun is a very ordinary star. Due to the brightness of stars (including our Sun), you may wonder how do stars shine. NASA image from the Solar Dynamics Observatory showing the effects of energy produced in the Sun. In this article, we will ponder that subject.

   Why do stars like the Sun Shine?

   • That was one hell of a ride. Hopefully, you have some understanding that stars like the Sun shine due to thermonuclear fusion in their cores. The process converts a small amount of mass into a lot of energy. The released energy in the core slowly reaches the star’s surface. Along the way, it is converted to less energetic photons.

   What makes a star shine?

   • The mechanism that makes ordinary main-sequence stars shine is the sticking together of hydrogen nuclei to make helium nuclei, a process called nuclear fusion – see how other stars do it in ‘ How other types of stars shine ’, below. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is comprised of just one proton. So ‘hydrogen nucleus’ is another way to say ‘proton’.

   How did Einstein help astronomers find out how stars shine?

   • Astronomers quickly realized that Einstein may have provided them with an answer on how stars shine. The low density and spectrography of the Sun showed that it was composed of mainly hydrogen and some helium. Furthermore, it was determined that the pressure and temperature in the Sun’s core were both high.

   How long will a massive star last?

   • More massive stars must burn fuel at a higher rate to generate the energy that keeps them from collapsing under their own weight. Some low-mass stars will shine for trillions of years – longer than the universe has currently existed – while some massive stars will live for only a few million years.

   Why is the Sun a star?

   • As the Sun is a star it was inferred that all stars produce energy similarly. The process of hydrogen fusion is referred to as hydrogen burning. More scientifically, it is called thermonuclear fusion. Thermo denotes high temperature, nuclear as it is the atoms of elements that are involved and fusion because more than one nucleus is combined.
