Answer 1

The sun is so hot that hydrogen atoms are ripped apart creating electrically charged particles known as plasma. Plasma, also known as ionized gas, is a conductor of electricity.

Actually the hydrogen atoms are fused into helium atoms, releasing heat, light and other electromagnetic radiation. The star needed extremely high core pressure and consequent temperature from its accretion to trigger nuclear fusion, but once started it became self-sustaining, moderated by its own gravity.

Answer 2

The process you are describing is nuclear fusion. In the sun's core, the extreme heat and pressure cause hydrogen atoms to collide and fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy sustains the sun's intense heat and light emission.
