At this point in time hydrogen is being fused into helium. Many, many years down the line, as the hydrogen runs out, the sun will begin fusing heavier and heavier elements for fuel. At least to iron.

Does combustion fuel the sun?
no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
What is the nuclear fual in the sun?
The nuclear fuel of the sun is hydrogen. The Sun binds the hydrogen atoms into helium, which creates energy in the process.
The nuclear fuel in the Sun is?
the main fuel the sun uses
What is the role of hydrogen gas in the sun?
The hydrogen in the Sun is fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction.
How much longer before the sun exhausts its nuclear fuel?
5 billion years
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
Why does the sun go on shining?
The Sun gets its energy from nuclear reactions; it has enough fuel to continue shining for a few billion years more.
What is prime fuel for the sun energy?
Hydrogen-1, which is converted, through nuclear fusion, to helium-4.
What makes electrity work?
water, solar sun, gas, coal, fossil fuel, oil, nuclear[baned]
Is the sun a fossil fuel?
no It uses nuclear energy to make heat and light (2 other forms of energy).
The sun and the fuel it contains?
The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.The fuel is not a regular chemical fuel, but hydrogen, which gets converted to helium through nuclear fusion, at very high temperatures.
How does the sun use up its fuel?
All stars- including our sun- are an ongoing nuclear fusion reaction- hydrogen is fused into helium. The hydrogen is consumed in that reaction.
