What is nuclear fusion?

The source of energy of stars is nuclear fusion. Fusion reaction occurs at very high temperature, about 10^(7) . Energy released in the process of fusion is due to mass defect. It is also called Q -value. Q = Delta mc^(2), Delta m = mass defect. Fusion reaction takes place at about

The source of energy of stars is nuclear fusion. Fusion reaction occurs at very high temperature, about 10^(7) . Energy released in the process of fusion is due to mass defect. It is also called Q -value. Q = Delta mc^(2), Delta m = mass defect. Mass equivalent to the energy 931 MeV is
