CHAPTER @2- Solar Sun and Earth
... Our Sun is a typical yellow-dwarf thermonuclear (fusion) star. How does the Sun produce such tremendous quantities of energy? The solar mass of gas produces tremendous pressure and high temperatures deep in its dense interior region. Under these conditions, pairs of hydrogen nuclei, the lightest of ...

Our Sun Produces Bizarre Radiation Bursts—Now NASA Knows Why
... Closer to home, solar flares can also produce gamma rays. Flares happen when active regions on the sun suddenly release explosions of magnetic energy. That accelerates particles to incredibly high speeds and creates intense bursts of light that can briefly outshine the sun itself. (Also see “How Su ...
