Phys 1002

Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and is facilitated by the high speeds and density achieved through gravitational contraction during the formation of stars. The gravitational pull brings matter extremely close together, allowing for nuclear fusion reactions in the core that generate heat and light. This process of nuclear fusion powers stars and provides the energy that makes life on Earth possible.
