The energy in the sun is generated mainly by:

  1. A Fission of helium atoms
  2. B fusion of hydrogen atoms
  3. C fusion of helium atoms
  4. D fission of uranium nuclids
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) fusion of hydrogen atoms

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Sun generates energy through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen nuclei combine under extreme pressure and temperature to form helium. This process, primarily the proton-proton chain, converts mass into a massive amount of energy according to \(E=m c^2\). B) fusion of hydrogen…
