Stellar Nucleosynthesis

⏺Stellar nucleosynthesis is the process by which element are created within stars by combining the protons and neutrons together from nuclei of lighter elements. All of the atoms in the universe began as hydrogen. Fusion inside stars transforms hydrogen into helium, heat and radiation.

⏺Stellar nucleosynthesis is the creation of chemical elements by nuclear fusion reactions within stars. Stellar nucleosynthesis has occurred since the original creation of hydrogen, helium anfmd lithium during the Big Bang. As a predictive theory, it yields accurate estimates of the ovmbserved abundance of the elements.
