Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.
Fusion is the main energy source for stars. It is the process by which stars convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear reactions, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Fission, on the other hand, involves the splitting of atomic nuclei and is not the primary energy source for stars.

Yes, stars are fusion reactors.

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Initially it is hydrogen. When that is spent, stars move to fusion of helium. There are also other fusion processes which take place: which process depends on the stars' mass.

Stars are driven by Nuclear Fusion.
That's how stars get their energy.
Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion.
