At sun's surface, the temperature is enough for two hydrogen(deuterium) molecules to fuse and form a helium molecule. Due to availability of optimum temperature at the surface of sun, the reaction takes place continuously and energy due to nuclear fusion is continuously liberated.

Where does nuclear fusion happen on the sun?

Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of the Sun, where the extreme pressure and temperature cause hydrogen atoms to fuse into helium. This process releases energy in the form of heat and light, powering the Sun and providing heat and light to our solar system.
