Question

The thermonuclear process in solar and less massive stars which produces one atom of helium from four of hydrogen is the?

Answer 1

Nuclear fusion. The process is described by the most famous equation: E=mc^2. The mass of the resulting helium atom does not have the same mass of the original hydrogen atoms. In the process, some of the matter is converted to energy at the factor of c^2 and given off in various forms of electromagnetic radiation such as visible light, UV, IR, X-rays, etc in quanta or photons.

Answer 2

proton - proton chain
