The sun and other stars are powered by fusing hydrogen into helium in their first stage of life. Then as they get older the hydrogen runs out and the fuse helium and on up onto iron. Heavier elements come from novas and super novas.
The fusion of atoms powers the sun and other stars!

Hydrogen?
The sun and other stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen atoms combine by nuclear fusion resulting in helium.
The main source of energy in the Sun and other stars is fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
fusion
It doesn't. The nuclear/chemical reaction that powers the other stars is entirely independent of what our sun is doing.
there is light from the sun which over powers the stars
It's a star. The sun is a star, and like other stars it is composed of plasma, the fourth state of matter, and the most abundant form of matter in the universe. Like other stars, inside the core of the sun, nuclear fusion takes place in which hydrogen atoms are fused into helium atoms.
all stars are not all the same (blue giants, red giants, red dwarfs), however the sun is a star. it just appears bigger in the sky because it is way, way, way closer than all other stars.
Stars' energy comes from the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms, initially.
