1 When a star exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it becomes a giant or supergiant. 2  sun become hot enough to fuse helium into carbon. 3  sun become hot enough to fuse carbon into heavier elements.
The energy of stars comes from nuclear fusion. This is a process that turns a light chemical element into another heavier element. Stars are mostly made of hydrogen and helium. They turn the hydrogen into helium by fusion. When a star is near the end of its life, it begins to change the helium into other heavier chemical elements, like carbon and oxygen. Fusion produces a lot of energy.
