The environment is highly affected on this situation. Large-scale oil-spill affects the environment in various ways such as death of several sea creatures such as fishes.

Fusion and gravity
Fusion and gravity keep the sun from blowing itself up. A large amount of energy is released by the
sun. Protons are fused together to form helium atoms due to the high heat and
pressure at the center of the sun. The Sun does not blow itself up from the
outer pressure of nuclear fusion in as much as the inner force of gravity
balances it.
