Stars spend-sequence converting hydrogen into helium

Reference no: EM13547082

Stars spend their time on the main sequence converting hydrogen into helium. There are two sets of reactions that can take place within a star, supporting the fusion process. Describe the two reaction chains or cycles used for hydrogen fusion and what determines which one a star will employ.
