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. A star has 10^(40) deutrons. It produes via the process ._(1)H^(2) + ._(1)H^(2) rarr ._(1)He^(3) + ._(1)H^(1) ._(1)H^(3) + ._(1)H^(3) rarr ._(2)He^(4) + ._(0)n^(1) If the average power radiated by the star is 10^(16) W , when the deutron supply of the star is exhausted in a time of the order of
