Best Answer

The sun generates energy through fusion of Hydrogen atoms. If the sun would burn a bit faster, then the released extra energy would make the sun expand a bit. This would reduce the number of fusion - collisions per second between Hydrogen atoms, which would slow down the reaction again. As a result, the reaction takes place at a stable rate
