The two main elements found in the sun are Hydrogen and Helium. Hydrogen is converted in to helium through nuclear fusion which occurs when temperatures reach thousands of degrees and atoms collide with each other at high energy.

This process can go on for billions of years before all of the hydrogen is used up.

If the temperature of the core of the sun was 100 million Kelvin it would be hot enough to convert Helium into Carbon.

Because the core of the sun is not that hot, helium and hydrogen are the two elements that keep the sun "burning".
