Answer: No it is a ball of hot gases

Answer: No. The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion; NOT from a chemical reaction such as burning coal. The main elements in the Sun are - in that order - hydrogen and helium (more precisely, the isotopes hydrogen-1 and helium-4). There are trace amounts of carbon in the Sun, but that's not what keeps it hot.

What did Aristarchus think the sun was and why did this not work?

Aristarchus thought that the Sun was a giant ball of fire at the center of the Universe. This is impossible because if it were a giant ball of burning material, with it's size and the amount of energy radiates, it would have consumed all of its fuel after only 5000 years. The age of the Sun is estimated in the range of about 5 billion years (roughly half way through its expected 10 billion year life span).
