Proton
Protons, together with neutrons, are the constituents of atomic nuclei. A hydrogen atom, for instance, is composed of a single proton orbited by a single electron.

The proton-proton chain is the process of nuclear fusion by which the Sun and other low-mass, main sequence stars generate energy. In essence, the reaction turns four hydrogen nuclei (four protons) into one helium nucleus (an alpha particle).
Definition: proton : A particle with a positive charge commonly found in the nucleus of atoms.

Mission Overview
Proton 1 was launched 16 July 1965 by the USSR into an orbit with apogee 589 km, perigee 183 km, and inclination 63.4 degrees. The orbital period was 92.25 minutes. The satellite weighed 12,200 kg.

THE PROTON"PROTON CHAIN
All atomic nuclei are positively charged, so they repel one another. Furthermore, by the inverse-square law, the closer two nuclei come to one another, the greater is the repulsive force between them.
Protons carry a positive charge and reside with neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. At room temperature the atom contains the same number of electrons as there are protons in the nucleus, which makes the atom electrically neutral.
Proton The positively charged part of an atom. The number of protons determines which element the particle is. It is part of the nucleus.
