Igive 30 +!2. the air and ground temperatures during a hailstorm can be the same as the air and ground temperatures during a snowstorm. explain how identical temperature conditions can be present during different types of precipitation.

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
