The sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This is a nuclear fusion that occurs at the sun's core.

What element is sun burning for fuel?
Hydrogen, but its not burning, its fusing.
How many hydrogen atoms does the sun have?
Three-quarters of the Sun's mass is hydrogen. How many hydrogen atoms are in the Sun?
What element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun and core?
Helium.
Can the sun run out of hydrogen?
Yes. It will eventually. The sun has enough hydrogen in its core to remain as a main sequence star for about 5 billion years. After that it will alternate between fusing helium in its core and hydrogen in a shell around the core for about 2 billions. Then it will shed its outer layers and leave behind a degenerate remnant called a white dwarf.
When does fusion of hydrogen atoms happens?
under extreme heat and pressure - it happens on the sun all the time!
The Sun produces energy by fusing hydrogen atoms into atoms in its core.?
Yes it does. It produces helium by fusing hydrogen
Why is the amount of hydrogen in the sun decreasing?
The sun is fusing hydrogen atoms together, turning them into helium.
What kinds of atoms are fusing or combining together inside the sun?
At the age the sun is now it is still fusing hydrogen into helium.
The primary source of energy for the Sun is?
The fusing of hydrogen atoms into helium.
What energy has sun fusing hydrogen atoms in helium and release energy?
The sun's energy (and that of all other stars) comes from nuclear fusion. The nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ie protons) fuse together to produce helium and release energy.
What natural gases give power to the sun?
Our sun gets energy from fusing hydrogen atoms with neutrons to form helium atoms.
What is fusing inside the sun as you go through this site?
Inside the Sun, it is mainly hydrogen-1 fusing into helium-4.
What do nuclear reactions on the sun produce?
Nuclear reaction inside the Sun is fusing of Hydrogen to Helium and release out thermal energy.
What kind of atom is fused with hydrogen to create energy on your sun?
Hydrogen: the mutual fusing of H atoms into Helium, with consequent release of energy.
How does the Sun produce its light?
sun have H2 atoms so by fussion process H atoms produce hydrogen bomb and then blast and light will produce .
The sun will go into its dying stages when what runs out?
The sun produce energy during the nuclear fusion process when hydrogen atoms are converted into helium atoms in the core of the sun. When the sun runs out of hydrogen it will "start to die".
How is the sun different from a protostar?
The sun is a star, fusing hydrogen atoms in its inner most layers to produce electromagnetic energy. A Protostar is basically a clump of interstellar matter/dust that may be coalescing due to gravitation to form a star but its center has not yet achieved a high enough temperature for hydrogen fusion to begin.
