Explanation:

To solve the crossword puzzle related to Nuclear Fusion, we analyze each clue and match it with the provided word bank:

Across Clues:

1. The sun’s fuel in Nuclear Fusion: The sun uses hydrogen as fuel for nuclear fusion. So the answer is "hydrogen".
2. The process of creating new atoms: Nucleosynthesis is the process of creating new atomic nuclei (and thus new atoms). So the answer is "nucleosynthesis".
3. The creation of helium from hydrogen where an atom’s nucleus is changed: Nuclear fusion is the process where hydrogen fuses to form helium, altering atomic nuclei. So the answer is "nuclear fusion".
4. The scientific term for light: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. So the answer is "electromagnetic radiation".
5. The center of a star where Nuclear Fusion occurs: The core of a star is where nuclear fusion takes place. So the answer is "core".
6. Provides energy for the Earth: The sun provides energy (light, heat) to Earth. So the answer is "sun".
7. The positive subatomic particle: A proton has a positive charge. So the answer is "proton".

Down Clues:

1. The part of the atom that is changed in nuclear reactions: Nuclear reactions alter the nucleus of an atom. So the answer is "nucleus".
2. A subatomic particle with no charge: A neutron has no electric charge. So the answer is "neutron".
3. Where elements are made: Elements are synthesized in stars (through processes like nucleosynthesis). So the answer is "stars".
4. The two forms of energy are ______ and light: Energy can exist as sound and light (though more accurately, light is electromagnetic radiation, but from the word bank, "sound" fits here). So the answer is "sound".
5. The two products of Nuclear Fusion are matter and ______: Nuclear fusion produces matter and energy. So the answer is "energy".
6. Another name for elements: Elements are also called "matter" (in the context of atomic/molecular composition, or from the word bank, "matter" is a match). So the answer is "matter".
7. Type of reaction that produces the most energy: Nuclear reactions (specifically nuclear fusion) produce enormous energy, and "nuclear" fits as a descriptor. So the answer is "nuclear".
8. The product of Nuclear Fusion: Hydrogen fuses to form helium in nuclear fusion. So the answer is "helium".
