Answer to Problem 1RQ

Solution:

The nuclear fusion reaction powers the sun.

Explanation of Solution

The nuclear fusion or thermonuclear reaction powers the sun. Nuclear fusion is a process, when two or more atomic nuclei fused together to form heavier nuclei and energy is also released or absorbed in this process. Because of this, sun is considered a nuclear fusion reactor which converts hydrogen (four protons) to helium. The energies which are available on the earth come from the sun.

Conclusion

The nuclear fusion reaction powers the sun.
