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

What happens if the sun runs out of oxygen?
It would be of little to no consequence. The "burning" of the sun is not really fire; it does not use oxygen. The sun is instead powered by nuclear fusion, which turns hydrogen into helium.
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.
What is the fuel for the burning of the sun?
Hydrogen
What element is sun burning for fuel?
Hydrogen, but its not burning, its fusing.
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 does NOT BURN gas. It is a FUSION of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
