Sun burning without oxygen, how is that done?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) November 13th, 2010

The Sun is basically a fireball, it is burning so many tins of matter an hour. How is the Sun burning what it is burning if there is no air to feed the fire? Is it purely some cemical reaction and if so is it producing oxygen to the the burning can take place?
