Nuclear Fusion
Fusion takes place in the core of the sun. This is where the immense pressure and temperature allow hydrogen atoms to combine and form helium, releasing energy in the process.
Only in the very center of the sun can the nuclear fusion take place - that is the only part of the sun where heat and pressure are both high enough. As you move outward from the center, the pressures and temperatures both drop below the level necessary to cause fusion. Hence, the star has a state of equilibrium.
No, the sun's corona appears to glow due to the extreme heat and energy produced by the sun's core through nuclear fusion. The corona is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere and is much hotter than the surface layer, giving it its distinctive glow.
The "burning" that takes place inside the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, a fundamentally different process. At the core of the sun hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing far more energy than combustion does.
Yes the sun is fueled by fusion.

The central region of the sun is called the core.
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.

The core
The Sun's fusion takes place in the core. The Convective zone brings heat to the surface by thermal convection, which is basically hot plasma coming up to the surface, then cooling and sinking.
The sun is powered by the fusion of hydrogen and helium in it's center. The heat in the center of the sun, and the pressure in the center, is great enough to cause the fusion to happen.
Mainly in the center, or core, of the Sun.
