Why is atom of sulfur smaller than an atom of silicon despite sulfur having more mass?

Does nuclear fusion convert oxygen to hydrogen?
No. Nuclear fusion will convert hydrogen to helium and, at higher temperatures, oxygen into silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur.
What is the suns chemical makeup?
hydrogen (75%) and helium (25%), roughly yes, but to be more precise: The sun consists of 71 % Hydrogen, 27 % Helium, 1 % Oxygen and the last percent is made of Carbon, Nitrogen, Silicon, Magnesium, Neon, Iron and Sulfur.
Why is an atom of sulfur smaller than an atom of silicon despite sulfur having more mass?
Because as you add more electrons to the same valence shell, the effective nuclear charge increases and thus holds the valence shell closer.
