The sun "burns" hydrogen to make helium. At 10 million degrees Kelvin, hydrogen begins to fuse into helium. In other, larger stars all the hydrogen will fuse to become helium, then all the helium will fuse to become beryllium, all the beryllium will fuse to become carbon, and so on, until it reaches iron. Fusion no longer produces energy after iron, so the star either collapses or goes supernova. "Burning" is not the correct term, fusion is.

How do you make up your own similes?

To make up your own similes, you need to think of how something can or is like something else. For example, rabbits can be fluffy like clouds. To make a simile out of that, you could say that the rabbit was as fluffy as a cloud. If something makes you happy, and you think the sun is happy, you would say you are as happy as the sun.
