Which of the following is the process that occurs in stars to form heavy nuclei from lighter nuclei?

thermonuclear fission

thermonuclear fusion

thermonuclear combustion

thermonuclear decay

Verified Answer :

fusion reactions. our sun takes hydrogen and fuses them together to form helium

Answer:

The correct option is thermonuclear fusion

Explanation:

Thermonuclear fusion is the joining together of small atoms to form a heavier nuclei under an extremely high temperature with the release of large amount of energy. This process is a type of fusion which occurs naturally in the stars where two molecules of hydrogen atoms are joined together to form a helium molecule and large amount of energy is released from this.
