It's hydrogen, which is MADE INTO helium with a release of energy. As the Sun gets older, it will use up most of its hydrogen and start to use helium fuel to make carbon, but the process won't be as efficient and will be over sooner.
The Sun isn't big enough to make heavier elements, but each stage is quicker and less effective than the last. Very big stars will at last start to make iron, but that's the end, because iron cannot be made into other elements unless it's GIVEN more energy.
We get energy out of light atoms when they COMBINE, and energy from heavy ones when they BREAK APART.
The Sun has enough hydrogen to put off the helium-combining stage for 5 billion years or so.

Why sun have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
Which is the element that the sun burns as fuel?
Hydrogen to Helium.
The sun is composed of what?
mostly hydrogen and helium
What element is the sun mostly made of?
well the sun gets its name by just spiningb a star so its a star . comment please
What are the gases found in the sun?
helium and hydrogen...
Why sun have hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process
Which is the element that the sun burns as fuel?
Hydrogen to Helium.
Is the sun made up of mostly hydrogen?
Essentially yes; the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion with hydrogen being converted to helium.
What are the fuel sources for the sun?
The sun produces heat and light by the nuclear fusion of atoms of hydrogen to create helium. The hydrogen it uses was created during the cooling of the universe after the Big Bang. hydrogen is the major "fuel" of the sun.
What is the fuel that gives the Sun its energy?
Fusion of hydrogen into helium
What is sun fuel?
Hydrogen-1, which is converted into helium-4.
What is the nuclear fual in the sun?
The nuclear fuel of the sun is hydrogen. The Sun binds the hydrogen atoms into helium, which creates energy in the process.
What element creates the energy that causes the sun to shine?
Hydrogen is the primary fuel source of the Sun. The sun burns hydrogen into helium
Is hydrogen affected by the sun?
no hydrogen is not affected by the sun because hydrogen can be combined with helium it creates a fuel source but it is not affected by hydrogen by it self so no hydrogen is not affected by the sun
What is the main source of the sun?
If source you mean, fuel...then the answer is Hydrogen gas. The sun fuses to hydrogen atoms to create helium.
Is the sun made of heat oxygen and fuel?
No. The su is made primarily of hydrogen and helium.
When are hydrogen and helium form?
Hydrogen and helium are formed in Sun.
