How Can The Sun Burn Without Oxygen?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Well, the sun isn't "burning" in the same sense that a fire burns on earth. The sun produces energy the same way that a hydrogen bomb produces energy.

    In this process, hydrogen is changed into helium, but some hydrogen is instead converted into energy. So the sun continues to "burn" and produce light and heat without oxygen
