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.

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.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic 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.
If the energy of a photon exceeds the threshold energy for pair production, the excess energy will be carried away by the produced particles as kinetic energy. This additional energy will contribute to the speed at which the particles are created and will increase their momentum.
