Best Answer

Looking at it very simplistically, the sun contains an enormous amount of hydrogen inside which through the nuclear fission process produces helium. The process of fission (combing of 2 hydrogen atoms into 1 helium atom) releases tremendous amount of energy. The energy is equivalent to the mass that is lost in the fission process.
