Two atoms of deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, fuse together. Since the mass of the resulting helium nucleus is less than the mass of the deuterium isotopes, the difference (known as the "mass defect") is liberated in the form of energy. Light, heat, and so forth.

This is what you see and feel when the sun shines upon you--electromagnetic radiation released from the surface of the sun. This reaction also liberates neutrinos, most of which shine through space as though nothing were there, and through the earth as though it were clear as glass. Only a tiny, tiny fraction of solar neutrinos are stopped by the earth.
