The hydrogen climate there which makes everything into it's energy, just like the atom bomb.
What Keeps The Sun Shining?
The sun is really a star and this is the nearest star to the earth. With out the sun's heat, life could not have started on earth, with out the sunlight; there would be no green plants, no animals and no human beings. The sun is 93,000,000 miles from the earth. The volume, or bulk, of the sun is about 1,300,000 times that of the earth. But sun is not a solid body like the earth. The temperature of the sun-surface is about 6000 degrees centigrade. So, the sun must be a globe of gas.
Years ago, scientists believed that the reason of the sun shone was that it was burning. But the sun has been hot for hundreds of millions of years, and nothing could remain burning for that long.
Nowadays scientists believe that the heat of the sun is the result of a process similar what takes place in an atom bomb. The sun changes matter into energy. Twenty eight grams of matter could produce enough energy to melt more than a million tones of rock. So if science is right, the sun keep shinning because it is constantly changing matter in to energy.

More to the point....the sun fuses hydrogen atoms into helium atoms and the process releases much energy.
I actually read something recently that said the sun would be equally as hot, regardless of what it was made of.
Apparently the sheer weight of the sun (billions and billions of tons) causes enough gravitational pressure on its core to create super-hot internal temperatures that cause it to burn.
So, technically, you could recreate the shining of the sun by collecting any type of material on that scale: Garden gnomes, ice-cream, cat food...
But, in order to keep the fusion reaction going - and maintain the shining ball of fire we're used to, then it's necessary for the sun to be made of an element like hydrogen - which is a shame because I'd like to see an ever-burning giant ball of garden gnomes in the sky.
i think all the bunnies and kittens playing together and every sister and brother getting along keeps the sun shining :3
