Temperatures at the center of the sun can rise up to about 27,000 degrees Fahrenheit.]]> 2018-09-12 14:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280355621 273344 https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280362528 Two protons fuse together 

Four hydrogen nuclei also come together 

Fusion requires temperatures up to 179,999,540 degrees Fahrenheit. 

A lot of energy is involved in this process

Four hydrogen nuclei come together in order to make a helium nucleus 

This reaction also causes the sun to produce gamma rays. ]]> 2018-09-12 14:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280370947 273344 https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280377406 As time goes by in the life cycle of a star the star begins to run out of hydrogen and turns the hydrogen it has into helium.

When the sun then runs out of helium, the helium ash in the core will build up and become unstable and collapse under its own weight, then the core heats up, gets denser and causes the sun to grow in size, turning into the red giant faze of its life ]]> 2018-09-12 14:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280377406 273344 https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280392055 High temperatures cause particles to move rapidly due to the high temperatures, causing them to collide and fuse together which also causes the particles to lose mass and release energy which will cause fusion]]> 2018-09-12 15:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/273344/brzhdmpl6ij3/wish/280392055
