Answer:

The quick answer to this question is that no, the sun does not burn. At least not as we understand burning in our day to day lives. We are all familiar with fire and commonly use it for a variety of purposes, but no one on earth uses the type of "fire" that the sun uses to produce the light and heat we all depend on.

There is indeed a reaction taking place in the heart of our sun (and in all other stars as well) and it is one that produces vast amounts of heat and light but it is not fire. What we see and feel when we light a campfire or a gas range is a chemical reaction between oxygen and other chemical compounds or elements. The reaction going on in the sun is fusion - a nuclear reaction that we are only recently beginning to control.
