(a) conversion of hydrogen gas into helium
Explanation
Nuclear fusion is the source of the Sun’s phenomenal energy production.
Nuclear fusion is defined as the combining of two lighter nuclei into a heavier one through a nuclear reaction. Light nuclei have to be heated to extremely high temperature, which results in the production of a relatively high amount of energy.
The Sun contains Hydrogen and Helium atoms, where hydrogen fuses in a heavy amount [620 billion Kg of Hydrogen nuclei (protons) into Helium nuclei] every second to produce 384.6 trillion Joules of energy per second and make the sun a nearly inexhaustible source of energy.
