Our Sun is undergoing fusion in which it turns Hydrogen into Helium. Some energy is radiated off in that process, and that is the heat and light what we see and feel.

This fusion process is started by the large mass of Hydrogen being compacted by the force of gravity, being heated by that process, and starting to fuse the elements.

Although most of the heat internal to the Earth is generated by radioactive decay, about 2% of it is caused by gravity compression and heating. But there is not sufficient mass in the Earth to start Fusion.
