This reaction, known as nuclear fusion, converts hydrogen atoms into helium. The by-product of nuclear fusion in theSun's core is a massive volume ofenergy that gets released and radiates outward toward the surface of the Sunand then into the solar system beyond it.

Answer:

Sun consumes Hydrogen to produce energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Sun is a huge sphere of hydrogen gas in which hydrogen gas nuclei combines and forms helium nuclei by nuclear fusion reaction.

This is also known given as


_1^2H + _1^3H --> _2^4He + _0^1n + energy

so here when these two isotopes of hydrogen combines and gives helium nuclei then in this reaction the energy is released and due to this nuclear energy released the sun will get energy to consume and to give high temperature.
