Where does the Suns energy come from ?

Every 1.5 millions of a second, the Sun releases more energy then all humans consume in an entire year. Without the sun, there would be no light, no warmth, and no life. It's heat influences the environment of all the planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroid and commits in our Solar System. How does a big ball of hydrogen create all that heat? The short answer is that it is big. If it were smaller it would just be sphere of hydrogen. Like Jupiter. But the Sun is much bigger than Jupiter. It would take 433,333 Jupiter's to fill it up. That a lot of hydrogen. That means it is held together by a whole lot of gravity. And that means that there is a whole lot of pressure inside of it. In fact, the pressure is so intense and the density is so great that the hydrogen atoms collide with enough force that they literally meld into a brand new element. Helium. This process, called Nuclear Fusion releases energy while created a chain reaction that allows it to occur over and over again. That energy builds up. It gets as hot as 15 million Degrees Fahrenheit in the suns core. The energy travels outward through a large area called the infective zone. Then it travels onward to the photosphere where it adds heat, charged particles and light. That heat powers the chemical reactions that makes life possible on Earth, allows gasses and liquids to exists on many planet and moons, and causes icy commits to provide fiery halo's. Those particles create a solar wind that pushes against the fabric of interstellar space, billions of miles away. That light travels far out into the cosmos . Just one star amongst millions.
