When the Sun releases tiny particles due to energy production, it is called solar wind. These particles consist of protons and electrons that are released into space from the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The solar wind can affect Earth's magnetic field and create phenomena like auroras.
Nuclear fusion releases energy in the form of high-energy light particles called photons, as well as fast-moving charged particles such as protons and electrons. This energy is produced by the conversion of mass into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2.

When the sun releases tiny particles due to energy production, it primarily emits a stream of charged particles known as solar wind. This phenomenon occurs during nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where hydrogen is converted into helium, releasing energy and particles. These particles can interact with Earth's magnetic field, leading to phenomena such as auroras and, in extreme cases, geomagnetic storms that can disrupt satellite communications and power grids. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are more intense bursts of this particle release, illustrating the sun's dynamic nature.

That is gamma decay, which is caused by a change in energy levels within a nucleus, but which does not result in any change to the number of protons or neutrons. A nucleus of one particular isotope can have different energy levels, these are called isomers of that isotope. The gamma radiation is electromagnetic, similar to x-rays but a higher frequency and hence higher energy.
The sun releases energy in the form of light and heat through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium. The sun also releases particles such as protons and electrons, collectively known as solar wind.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
