Yes, they do.
Because of the enormous gravity of the sun Hydrogen atoms fuse to each other (only 2) to make Helium.

Where does the sun get its hydrogen to burn?
You get hydrogen from water (u must have special kinds of machines to extract it from the water) or u can make it at home with a 1.5v battery....
How is the atmosphere of Uranus different from that of Saturn?
Uranus has more hydrogen and less helium than Saturn, but both atmospheres are similar.Saturn's atmosphere: Hydrogen 75%, Helium 25%, plus tiny amounts of other gases.Uranus' atmosphere: Hydrogen 83%, Helium 15%, Methane 2% plus tiny amounts of other gases (acetylene and hydrocarbons).That uranus atmosphere is smaller and saturn's is biger
Hydrogen is not made in the stars?
Correct. Hydrogen is not made in stars. Hydrogen is the simplest material, and we believe that the vast majority of the matter "created" after the Big Bang was hydrogen, with a little helium and tiny traces of lithium.Hydrogen is CONSUMED in stars, as the fuel for the thermonuclear fusion reaction that converts hydrogen into helium.
The energy in the sun is created by?
Nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms combine to become helium, and as a product if that reaction a tiny amount of energy is released as an explosion.
Does the sun have oxygen?
Yes, but just a very tiny amount. Hydrogen and Helium make up 98% of the Sun, and Oxygen is less than 1%.
Where did the stars come from?
When the big bang occurred tiny particles spread out evenly through the universe. Wel almost evenly and due to these tiny flaws in the spreading. Gravity pulled these particles together and after enough of these particles form. Hydrogen atoms begin to fuse creating stars that shine.
How does hydrogen atoms fusing into helium atoms make energy?
E = mc2 A byproduct of the fusion reaction is a loss of a tiny amount of mass, which is converted into energy.
Where do you get elements from?
Hydrogen, helium, and maybe a tiny bit of lithium come from the Big Bang. Everything else (and most of the helium and lithium) up to say iron or nickel comes from stellar nucleosynthesis. Anything heavier comes from supernovae.
Can diamonds be made of helium and hydrogen?
This could be a trick question. A diamond is an allotrope of the element carbon. In stars, which are giant fusion engines, hydrogen is fused into helium, and helium is fused into carbon. In a round about way, yes, diamonds can be made of helium and hydrogen. The carbon can be compressed and heated in a supernova at the end of its life, and diamonds can form. The carbon has to be transformed into diamond. But they diamonds are very, very tiny. Some meteorites contain thousands of diamonds, but they are so small that it is hard to see them with an optical microscope.
What gases are the gas giant planets made mostly of?
Jupiter, the first gas giant from the sun. It's clouds are made out of simple gases like hydrogen,helium,carbon dioxide,water and methane,along with clouds of ammonia ice and ammonium hydrosulphide. There are winds up to 600km per hour,travelling in opposite directions which create the distinct bands. Saturn is composed entirely of hydrogen. The top layer is made up of ammonia crystals and below are ammonium hydrosulphide or water. Beneath the layer of cloud,the pressure is so intense that gas is compressed into a liquid. Uranus's atmoshere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with small quantities of methane. This allows the planet to be able to absorb the Sun's rays, giving the planets distinct blue colour. Neptune has no solid surface to land on. It may have a tiny core of rock.Neptune's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with traces of methane.
Is a helium atom larger than a neon atom?
helium as it contains 2 protons, while hydrogen only contains 1. Additionally, the orbit of the 2 electrons in a neutral helium atom would also be larger than the orbit of the single electron in hydrogen.
Does each substance has particles?
tiny particles
