We can crunch numbers. The sun's energy output can be calculated with a high degree of accuracy, and its mass can be calculated accurately as well. We know how much energy a fusion reaction (the proton-proton reaction, for instance) releases. It's just a big numbers game, but one we can play with a high degree of certainty.
