how is the process that generates energy in the suns core different from an explosion caused by a chemical reaction

Hey

on August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb was released. the only remains of the poor people in Hiroshima were the shadows of the last place they stood.

The energy that was released by the atomic bomb was transferred by nuclear fission (The processes at which atoms split and give off energy).

In the core of the sun, the process is different from that of fission. it is called nuclear fusion (the process in which atoms [of hydrogen] are smashed together into helium and release tremendous amounts of energy).
