1. How is the process that generates energy in the Sun's core different from an explosion caused by a chemical reaction?

Explanation:

The process in the suns core is called nuclear fusion, opposite of nuclear fission which is used in nuclear power plants. Rather than splitting atoms apart, the suns intense gravitational pull causes atoms to be pushed farther into each other than they would like, generating energy. Two atoms being pushed together like this is enough to power the entire state of California for 98 hours. Now multiply that by 2300000e and boom, you just created the sun!

I wouldn't get to close to that star if I were you!
