Nuclear Fusion In The Sun

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to fit all your luggage into a small car trunk for a family road trip. Just like squeezing those suitcases into a tight space until everything clicks into place, inside the sun, immense pressure and heat squeeze hydrogen atoms so tightly that they fuse together to form helium. Just as the fully packed trunk allows the car to move smoothly on your journey, this fusion releases energy that powers the sun, lighting up our solar system.
