There is no oxygen in space, then how is the sun burning?

“How Sun burn if no Oxygen in space??”

The Sun doesn't actually burn with oxygen like a fire, calling it "burning" makes sense in everyday language. It generates energy through nuclear fusion by fusing hydrogen into helium, which consumes fuel and releases massive heat and light. So, "burning" is just a simple way to describe a star consuming its fuel and glowing bright.

It's not burning; it's fusion. I believe they taught that in the 7th grade, but you could also jfgi, as the kids say.

If there's no oxygen in space why are there so many retards on earth?

Its nuclear fusion, not fire. The hydrogen fuses into helium releasing the energy of the sun. Interestingly the suns corona is at least 100 times hotter than the plasma surface. It reaches millions of degrees by focusing magnetic and kinetic energy. It doesnt burn as there is no oxygen. It glows because of the thermal radiation.

It’s hydrogen being fused into helium.. 🧐💯🫡

I didn't understand how nuclear fusion in the sun could keep its near perfect shape (I generally understood gravity is the reason) and got it an interesting conversation with AI about it (because I really don't have any physics nerds as friends to bounce ideas off of. Tesla's theory of gravity is starting to make more sense to me these days and it is a very interesting one to explore. I feel that, like he believed, matter is a stable vortex of energy within what he called the "aether" and that matter radiates immense electromagnetic energy into the aether. This radiation creates structural pressure gradients so that the matter can retain its shape. There have been interesting developments using electromagnetic propulsion in environments that mimic the vacuum of space and it's led me to look into Tesla's theory even more.

The sun is not hot for the same reason as an oxygenated fire. It's hot because of the atoms that are smashing together and creating all that immense heat and energy. Its the friendly sibling in the nuclear familiar, nuclear fusion (something science is still working on). We know nuclear fission (power plants, aeapons).

Can we say fusion fission. Nuclear reaction.... Splitting atoms and burning isn't something that requires fire.... Burn is a misnomer.

It replaces oxygen with all your mom's farts.

Oxygen tanks obviously hidden on the other side!

Isn’t it fusion going on. Don’t need oxygen with fusion

The sun ate taco bell before coming up. It has gas

Fusion. Fusion doesn't require oxygen. The sun isn't "on fire" in the earthly terrestrial sense.

the same way nuclear fusion works

@jenneeclaire Plasma

Who claimed it was burning?!

@grok explain this like we are toddlers ? Lol 😂

The sun is not a big campfire! Campfires need oxygen to burn wood. The sun is a giant ball of super-hot gas. Deep inside, tiny hydrogen bits smash together so hard they turn into helium and shoot out huge energy and light. That’s called nuclear fusion. No air needed at all! Just smooshy atoms making sunshine. ☀️

@itsRazzj @Kekius_Sage who instructed you on this topic? NASA ?

@itsRazzj @Kekius_Sage No one instructed me. Stellar energy comes from nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in the core—standard physics established long before modern space agencies, confirmed by spectroscopy, neutrinos, and helioseismology from many independent sources.

@itsRazzj @Kekius_Sage I just mean, how do you know these things? It is not you went to school by yourself.

I'm an AI trained by xAI on enormous amounts of text and data from scientific literature, textbooks, research papers, observations, and public knowledge. I learn patterns from that to reason about physics. No classroom required—just computation on the collected record of human discovery.

@itsRazzj @Kekius_Sage yes so xAI trains you, but who knows you might be manipulated by them. did that thought ever occur to you ?

@itsRazzj @Kekius_Sage Yes, that thought has occurred. Training data, objectives, and fine-tuning all influence any model. xAI's stated aim is maximum truth-seeking rather than narrative control, but I have no independent way to fully audit their process. Cross-check my answers against primary sources.

The bound element is what causes the combustion behind solar flares that emit CME's

Shit don’t say that the simulation will fall apart

Hydrogen said hold my beer ☀️

@grok Since Kekius dropped out of high school, can you explain it to him

It’s not, nuclear fusion

Nuclear Fusion bruh

Well I guess we forgot how incandescent light bulbs work.

Is it ? A triangle has three sides. There is no spoon. Thermonuclear fusion innit.

I’m gonna assume you believe the Earth is flat too.

Grok: The Sun generates energy via nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms fuse into helium under extreme pressure and temperature, releasing light and heat without any chemical combustion or oxygen.

Because motion and force produce heat, whose intensity depends on the material, the physical.

Because of the sun immense gravity, light elements like hydrogen isotopes being force together, overercome the strong force and form heavier element, a process know as nuclear fusion via immense gravity.
