The force of gravity opposes acceleration away from the source of the gravity. This is expressed as "centrifugal force" or the perpendicular component of a tangential velocity. The balance between these keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.

What force opposes nuclear fusion in the sun?

The force that opposes nuclear fusion in the sun is gravity. Gravity is constantly pulling inward, trying to compress the sun's material into a smaller space. The outward pressure from nuclear fusion counteracts this force, creating a delicate balance that maintains the sun's stability.
