Apart from the helium nuclei and energy that are produced in proton-proton reactions in the Sun's core, what are the other by-products?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the proton-proton chain reaction within the Sun's core, apart from helium nuclei and energy, the by-products include positrons (positive electrons), gamma rays, and neutrinos. This process involves the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and neutrinos, and positrons are produced during the conversion of protons into neutrons.
