Question

Order the process of nuclear fusion, beginning with the first step on top and ending with the last step on the bottom. Drag answer choices into the correct sequential order.
an enormous amount of energy is released

hydrogen atoms crash together

energy travels to Earth in the form of light energy and heat

helium atoms are formed

plants will use energy from the sun to make their own food

Answer 1

1. hydrogen atoms crash together  

Hydrogen atoms (or protons) fuse within the Sun core and fall apart.

2. helium atoms are formed  

Helium atom is a product of the proton-proton fusion and this process occurs through a series of steps.  

3. an enormous amount of energy is released

The transformation that occurs after the fusion results in a release of huge amount of energy that keeps the sun hot. Energy is radiated out from the core of the Sun

4. energy travels to Earth in the form of light energy and heat

This energy is called The Solar energy to the Earth because it hits the surface of the Earth itself.

5. plants will use energy from the sun to make their own food

Plants are phototrophic organisms that transform the light energy into usable energy for their metabolism.
