The sun shines because some of the nuclear energy is transformed into radiant energy. Enormous compression due to gravity and extremely high temperatures in the deep interior of the Sun fuse the nuclei of hydrogen atoms together to form helium nuclei. This is called thermonuclear fusion (a process that releases radiant energy, a small part of which reaches Earth).

The primary source of the sun's energy is nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy powers the sun and allows it to emit light and heat.
Nuclear fusion is the driving force behind the Sun's energy. When hydrogen atoms fuse into helium, there is a release of energy in the form of photons.
Nuclear 'fusion' in the sun's core. Same process that provides the enormous burst of energy released by a hydrogen bomb, but it keeps going continuously in the sun.
The sun uses nuclear fusion to bond hydrogen atoms together to make helium atoms releasing energy. The sun was born with all the hydrogen it will ever use and will run out.
Yes, the sun is a source of electromagnetic energy.
The source of all energy is the Sun.
The primary source of energy for living organisms is the sun. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose, which is used by all living things as a source of fuel for cellular processes.
Yes, the sun is a source of electrical energy through the process of solar energy generation, where sunlight is converted into electricity using solar panels.
The ultimate source of energy for everything on Earth is the Sun. Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which is then transferred through the food chain to other organisms for their energy needs.
