The way the Sun "burns" fuel is completely different from the way a fire on Earth burns (the term "burning" is a bit misleading when used to talk about stars).

What if in that same room, with no oxygen, is it possible for a hydrogen reaction fire to start, like the sun? You can show this for yourself, in fact: if you light a small candle and then put a clear glass upside-down over that candle (without touching the flame), you can watch the flame slowly extinguish as it uses up all of the oxygen that you have trapped around it with the glass. Can a fire burn in a room with no oxygen?Ī fire cannot burn without oxygen.
