The huge power output of the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reactions taking place

within its core. State and explain the conditions necessary for fusion to occur.

The answer must be clear, use an appropriate style and be organised in a

logical sequence

High temperature AND high density/pressure 

Any two reasons from:

Overcome coulomb/electrostatic repulsion 

Nuclei come close enough to fuse/for strong (nuclear) force to act 

High collision rate/collision rate is sufficient
