# Introduction to $E=mc²$
*Note that $ and $$ should just render normally.*
Einstein's mass-energy equivalence is one of the most famous equations in physics. It states:
$$
E=mc^2
$$
where:
- $E$ is the energy of an object.
- $m$ is the mass of the object.
- $c$ is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately $3 \times 10^8$ m/s).
In simple terms, this equation tells us that mass and energy are interchangeable. A small amount of mass can be converted into a large amount of energy, and vice versa.
## Energy conversion in the Sun
For example, in the Sun, nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium. In these reactions, a small amount of the mass of the hydrogen is converted into energy, according to the equation $E=mc^2$.
$$
4 \, \text{H} \rightarrow \text{He} + 2 \, \text{e}^+ + 2 \, \nu_e + \gamma
$$
This is why the Sun has been able to produce enormous amounts of energy for billions of years.
