In stars of more than eight solar masses that have exhausted their helium supply, carbon burning converts carbon into neon, sodium, magnesium, and other elements, driving the star toward later fusion stages.

In models of massive stars, oxygen burning is the nucleosynthesis phase that follows carbon burning, during which neon disintegrates and oxygen fuses to form silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and other elements up to atomic number 40.

Hydrogen burning in stars under 1.2 solar masses primarily fuels the conversion of hydrogen into helium, deuterium, and traces of lithium, shaping their long-term structure and evolution.

In the cores of red giants, helium burning begins once temperatures exceed 10^8 K, converting helium into carbon and subsequently into oxygen, neon, and magnesium.
