Best Answer

Nuclear fusion. Stellar fusion involves a ton of different fusion reactions throughout the star's life. The primary and (usually) the longest burning is the fusion of hydrogen into helium. This consumes a great number of the nuclear energy in the sun, and it usually accounts for the type of fusion that goes on for most of the life of the star.

This is the process.
