Core of the Sun
Temperature of ~15 million Kelvin
Every second,600 million tons of hydrogen are fused into 596 million tons of helium.

The Sun is in gravitational equilibrium
• The outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity.
• The energy provided by fusion in the core provides the outward pressure.
• The inward pull of gravity (the weight of the outer layers) causes the core to very hot and dense.
