Within our Sun, hydrogen is fused into helium at very high temperatures. This is how the Sun is powered.

There is no fire in the sun, that is a chemical process. The process in the core is thermonuclear fusion.

Why do suns hold energy?

Energy can be obtained by converting hydrogen into heavier elements (nuclear fusion). Suns usually have lots of hydrogen, which was available from the early stages of the Universe.


What is the sun and other suns made of?

The sun and other suns (or stars) is composed mostly of hydrogen. The next largest component is helium. Various other elements are also present. As stars age, the quantity of hydrogen declines and the quantity of other elements increases.

Why do plants cannot survive without sun's energy?

Plants use the suns energy to make energy in a process called photosynthesis. The suns energy is used to produce glucose which provides the energy that the plants need to survive through processes such as respiration and expiration.


What processes fuels stars?

Nuclear fusion, the same reaction that takes place in nuclear warheads, only in conventional warheads it's caused by powerful conventional explosives directed inward to cause heavy elements to fuse together, and in the cores of suns (stars) it is caused by the much more powerful force of the star's gravity.


What are all of lifes molecules sythesized by?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Molecules are made up of atoms, elements are composed of the same type of atoms. Every type of naturally occurring atom (except hydrogen & helium) is formed in the core of Suns (stars) and no where else. Since molecules are made of atoms and atoms are made in Suns you could say all molecules are synthesized in Suns.
