Anyone knows? if not then here is the answer from scientists... The Sun 'burns' nuclear fuel that does not need oxygen. Nuclear energy comes in two forms: fission in which heavy elements are broken down into lighter ones; and fusion in which light elements are 'fused' together to make heavier elements. Stars 'burn' by nuclear fusion.
I think I remember reading somewhere that a star was originally a huge hydrogen cloud that forms a burning ball of energy due it the gravitational force of it's own weight. I maybe wrong though. I'm drinking a few beers and feeling a little tipsy atm
And energy can not be created nor destroyed. I remember those facts when I was in high school. It was cool to know that sun was hot due to those nuclear reactions.
That's an interesting fact. I was aware that nuclear fusion takes place but I never thought about no oxygen in outerspace.
True fact The mass of the sun is rapidly decreasing everyday due to it's release of nuclear energy. No need to worry through, due to it's sheer size there's enough mass converting to energy (MC² = Ej)to last for at least 5 billion years ROOFIS
