Where does the sun gets energy from and goes to light and heat?

The sun uses nuclear fusion to produce light and energy. the process is relatively complicated but simplified it looks something like this. step 1: hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom = deutrerium atom (an isotope of hydrogen (one extra neutron)) + positron + neutrino step 2: Deutrerium atom + hydrogen atom = helium 3 (an isotope of Helium (missing one neutron)) + energy step 3: helium 3 atom + helium 3 atom = helium atom + hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom + energy.
