Fission is a splitting apart.
Fusion is a putting together.
You get energy by splitting heavy elements AND by fussing light elements.
The mid point is iron, the element with the least amount of available "nuclear" energy ... thus it is the ultimate ash from any nuclear reaction.
nuclear fussion means combining of atoms
nuclear fission means spliting of atoms'
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
fission is breaking big things up into smaller ones. fusion is joining little things together into bigger ones.
Fusion and fission are opposing processes. In the sun, hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium. On earth, the most commonly used element is uranium, which is split into smaller atoms.
Fission
Fission & Fusion. I JUST now got an answer right by using this. Good Luck! :D Hope this was helpful.

the sun is powered by fusion, the power plant by fission
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
fission is breaking big things up into smaller ones. fusion is joining little things together into bigger ones.
Nothing but the terminology. "Atomic" was the term used in the early days of nuclear weapons and nuclear power. "Nuclear" (describing the fission process of nuclear power and nuclear weapons) became the term when fusion bombs became reality, as Atomic can refer to both fission and fusion processes.
The Sun get it power by nuclear FUSION not by nuclear fission.
Fusion means to combine lighter atoms into a heavier atom. Fission means to split a heavy atom into lighter atoms.
Nuclear fusion
Nuclear fission.
Mechanical energy is energy generated through motion, while nuclear energy is generated through either fusion (the combining of atoms), or fission (the breakdown of atoms). stars generate fusion, and nuclear power plants, use uranium for fission.
