What is the source of the sun's magnetic field since the sun is made of helium and hydrogen and is well beyond the Curie point for magnetic materials?

Quite simple really. First, you have to know this: materials within the Sun are so hot that they exist in the heightened state of plasma, where electrons are hardly bound to they positively charged nucleus. The speed at which the Sun rotates causes the plasma to become highly magnetized. This speed also causes the invisible lines of magnetism to become chaotic and twisted. Likewise, the magnetized plasma is the cause of solar flares, prominences, and the highly magnetized solar winds.

What type of atomic reaction occurs on the sun?
Hydrogen + Helium=BLAST=Hydrogen+Helium=BLAST=Hydrogen+Helium=BLAST=_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and so on

helium and hydrogen...
What are the outer planets' cores made up of?
Terrestrial planets have a rock composition (and are also smaller), giant planets are made up from mostly hydrogen, helium and icy and rocky materials. However, the two giants, Jupiter and Saturn, have a very small inner core of icy and rocky materials and a larger outer core of hydrogen and helium. The two subgaints, Neptune and Uranus, have a larger inner core of icy and rocky material and a smaller outer layer of hydrogen, helium and icy materials.
How are elements beyond hydrogen and helium formed?
