The simple answer is that deep inside the core of the Sun, enough protons can collide into each other with enough speed that they stick together to form a helium nucleus and generate a tremendous amount of energy at the same time. This process is called nuclear fusion. Every second, a star like our Sun converts 4 million tons of its material into heat and light through the process of nuclear fusion.

How bubbles emit light?

Bubbles can emit light through a process called luminescence, where the molecules in the bubble emit light when they are excited. This can happen when the bubble is exposed to certain types of energy, like from the sun or a light source, causing the molecules to emit light as they return to their lower energy state.
