The sun and the other stars produce light and heat by the fusion thermonuclear reactions going on in their core. The first full stage of a star's life is the primary phase where it is fusing hydrogen to helium, then helium starts fusing into nitrogen, and so on until iron, at which point the reaction stops.

Hydrogen
Is it true orFALSE that stars are powered by nuclear fusion reactions?
false
What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?
Nuclear reactions in the cores of stars convert hydrogen to helium
What does Nuclear Fusion have to do with stars?
The stars produce their heat from nuclear fusion reactions. Work on earth to produce controllable nuclear fusion is concentrating on one particular reaction, between deuterium and tritium, because it is the easiest to get going (though hard enough!). Stars operate with other reactions but all of the nuclear fusion type. You can read more in Wikipedia 'Nuclear fusion'
Which reactions is responsible for energy radiating from stars including the Sun?
Nuclear fusion

Who originated the element sodium?
Sodium originated in the nuclear reactions taking place inside stars.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
