No. The hydrogen on the Sun does not burn; it fuses to make helium instead.

How come the sun can survive in without oxygen?

The sun is not burning like a true fire. It is powered instead by nuclear fusion, which uses hydrogen.


Does the sun need oxygen to burn?

No, the sun does not burn in the way that we typically think of burning. It undergoes nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the process. Oxygen is not required for this reaction to occur.


What is the fuel for the burning of the sun?

Hydrogen


Does oxygen atoms burn when they are in a compound with hydrogen?

When oxygen fuses with hydrogen it burns in the sun. Of course just think of the sun dummy. When oxygen fuses with hydrogen it burns in the sun. Of course just think of the sun dummy.


Does the suns energy come from burning fuels like oils?

No, the sun's energy is a byproduct of nuclear fusion, primarily hydrogen gas "burned" into helium. There are no significant quantities of complex organic hydrocarbons in our sun. While there is oxygen, the hydrogen/oxygen or carbon/oxygen chemical reaction is not what results in solar energy.


What is the main element that keeps the sun burning?

Hydrogen


Does the gas in the sun have oxygen?

Only in a small amount. About 1% of the sun is oxygen. The sun is mostly hydrogen and helium.


What kind of gas does the sun use in burning?

Hydrogen Gas.


Where does the sun produce heat?

From the nuclear reaction of burning hydrogen!


Is oxygen the fusion in the interior of the sun?

No, it is hydrogen that is the fuel for fusion in the sun


What gas is the sun burning?

The sun is primarily burning hydrogen gas through nuclear fusion in its core. This process converts hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat.


Does the sun have an oxygen atmosphere?

No. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. It is about 1% oxygen.
