The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

inysia [295]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation

Explanation:

It states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
