Step-by-step explanation:

The Sun does not "burn", like we think of logs in a fire or paper burning. The Sun glows because it is a very big ball of gas, and a process called nuclear fusion is taking place in its core. ... Hydrogen really doesn't burn, it fuses, into helium. So no oxygen is required!
