WHAT IS IT?
Nuclear fusion refers to a reaction through which two or more light nuclei
collide into each other for forming a heavier nucleus. This reaction occurs
with elements which have a low atomic number, like hydrogen. Further, it is
the opposite of nuclear fission reaction as in there, heavy elements diffuse
and create lighter elements. Moreover, both nuclear fusion and fission
generate a substantial amount of energy.

The temperature at the sun’s core is approximately 15
million degrees Celsius. This temperature together An example of nuclear fission is
