Easy, it's not fire. Fire is oxidation. The Sun is plasma produced by nuclear fusion.

You need oxygen. There's definitely hydrogen.

Four hydrogen atoms, each composed of one proton, fuse. This produces a helium nucleus with two protons and two neutrons.

What happened to the electric charge of the two protons that became neutrons? It's lost as pure energy in the form of light (well, electromagnetic radiation), and also a free-roving particle called a neutrino.

Even in the center of the sun this requires a slightly improbable series of events which keeps the "burn" rate under control.

So remember to wear your sunscreen next time you're out. You're standing under a giant unshielded fusion reactor!

Thankyou! And yet that just leads me to wonder: How did 4 H atoms get fused?

haha, not exactly.. All stars float through the vacuum of space.

The simple answer to OP's question is that the Sun is not a fire.

Well it can't be in an oxygen environment.......cause then all the oxygen would then get burned up right?

And I thought nuclear fusion was pretty much a constant. Then why the CMEs?? (coronal mass ejections)

They are random and fiery, no?

OP... i have a question for you... If fire cannot exist in the vacuum of space, How do we have fire on the earth? ........................................... The logic you are using is akin to the following............... If fish can't live outside of water, then do they breathe?

I'm sorry everyone the OP has too good of a point. I guess the sun just doesn't really exist and someone just hung a really shiny decoration up there.
