Question:
How does the sun keep burning?

Replies:
The central part of the Sun is like a nuclear reactor. It combines four Hydrogen atoms to make Helium and some energy in form of radiation. It is this energy that we receive. A star as big as the Sun may live on this reaction for about 9 billion years. We think the Sun is about half that age.
