Answer:

The Sun releases energy by fusing four hydrogen nuclei into one helium nucleus.

Explanation:

High temperatures enable nuclear fusion to happen in the core. The proton–proton chain is how hydrogen fuses into helium in Sun. The mass of a Helium nucleus is 0.7% smaller than the mass of four protons (Hydrogen nuclei).
