The vast majority of the energy output of the Sun is not produced by chemical combustion at all, but rather by nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium.

Does the sun release smoke?

No. Smoke is a mixture of products of combustion, which is a chemical reaction. The "burning" that takes place in the sun is not combustion; it is nuclear fusion, which is a completely different process.

Does sun do combustion?

No, the sun does not undergo combustion. Combustion is a chemical reaction that typically involves oxygen and a fuel source, leading to the release of heat and light. The sun generates energy through nuclear fusion, the process in which hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium, releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.


Why can the sun not be powered by a chemical process such as combustion?

No chemical process could provide the energy that the sun does for as long as it has. At the sun's mass and energy output, any chemical process would have exhausted its supply in a few hundred to a few thousand years. The sun has maintained roughly the same energy output for several billion years.


Does combustion fuel the sun?

no combustion dose not fuel the sun but the sun is fueled by a nuclear reaction known as fusion.
