Question
What is the source of energy of sun or stars?
Solution
The source of energy in the sun and stars is the nucleus fusion of light nuclei such as hydrogen present in them in their inner parts. This takes place at a very high temperature and high pressure, due to which a helium nucleus is formed with the release of a high amount of energy.
