Answer:
Explanation:
Hydrogen fusion reaction is the one which provides so much light and heat (in short, energy) which escapes into space and spread. If Hydrogen on sun ends, It will lose its warmth (and may be soon become a planet, but will surely be a dead star).

Hydrogen is required for nuclear fusion. The "fuel" that the Sun consumes is hydrogen.
Explanation:
- A star, just like the sun, spends the majority of its existence generating energy in the form of heat and light by fusing hydrogen into helium.
- Whenever the hydrogen is mostly depleted, the star transitions to helium fusion, which produces bigger (heavier) components. At that point, the sun will have evolved into a red giant.
- It will then be massive enough to swallow the Earth's orbit, albeit the Earth will be a charred, dead "cinder" long before that happens.
