Solar neutrinos are extremely lightweight, neutral subatomic particles produced during nuclear fusion processes in the Sun's core. The Sun generates energy through the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium, and this process releases neutrinos as a byproduct. The specific fusion reactions that create solar neutrinos include the proton-proton chain reaction and the CNO (carbon-nitrogen-oxygen) cycle.
