What fuels the Sun’s enormous energy output?
Henry AsbillHydrogen. Hydrogen atoms fusing into Helium and 0.7% of matter is changed into energy
The process, known as the proton-proton chain, converts 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of gamma rays in the Sun's core.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- How does the energy produced in the core of the sun reach the surface?
- Is the "solar wind" an actual wind? ? If it is, why doesn't it blow away our space probes?
- How does the sun give us heat if space is a vacuum?
- How does the sun's atmosphere affect the planets?
- Is the Solar Wind comprised of actual matter along with energy? If so, is there a point at which the gravitational attraction of the Sun overcomes the Solar Wind?
