Fusion in the Sun
... During the MAIN SEQUENCE stage hydrogen is fused and creates a helium core. The main fuel for the sun is hydrogen gas. During the Red Giant stage helium is fused and creates a carbon core. The main fuel for a Red Giant is helium gas. When fusion is done in a red giant the core of the White Dwarf wil ...
