Most of the sun is actually protons and neutrons.
They bounce off each other when they come close to each other.
The mass of the proton is being converted to energy.
The sun is losing 4.3 billion kilos of energy every second.
Every second that amount of mass is converted into energy.
Now, if two particles like this collide, they emit 2 protons, and what we're left with is the helium 4 nucleus. There you have hydrogen fused into helium, and a lot of mass lost, a lot of energy released. If you want to know more about fusion in the sun, check out this video by Minute Physics . It explains how the protons can fuse even though they're not really going fast enough to overcome their repulsion. Hot enough for fusion will fuse together anyway, and the sun is so big and has so much hydrogen that these small chances happen all the time..
