- Life on Earth is entirely owed to the colossal energy source that we call the Sun. The source of the energy is in the core of Sun where nuclear ___________ yields a great deal of energy by converting _____________ atoms into ______________ atoms. (Fill in the blanks.) Question 6 options: fusion; hydrogen; helium fusion; uranium; barium fission; helium; hydrogen fission; proton; neutronarrow_forwardThe Sun is powered by releasing hydrogen to helium. Through either the proton-proton chain or the CNO cycle, the basic reaction is 4 1H morph into 1 4He, releasing nuclear binding energy (and losing mass) in the process. The mass of one proton 1H is 1.6726 x 10-24 gm and the mass of one helium nucleus 4He is 6.6447 x 10-24 gm. What is the mass difference in gm between 4 protons and one helium nucleus? Calculate the ratio of the mass difference to the original mass of the 4 protons as a comparison.arrow_forwardIn the Sun, how do magnetic fields manifest and what is their origin?arrow_forward
