it's hot.

You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we've never been able to observe them.
Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!
This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!
When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!
So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!
Well, first of all, through God, all things are possible, so jot that down
Amun-Ra approves this message.
*the Illuminati "stay where you are"
The sun isn't space, it has plenty of oxygen.
The sun burns differently, it's burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine
There is oxygen in space, it's just a different type of oxygen that we can't see
You guys can see oxygen?
Everything comes from stars including oxygen, duh.
That is a scientifically correct answer. Not for this question, though.
The sun is technically not burning. It's just lesser freezing than the rest.
it must be the poop bear
It took a deep breath...
it produces its own oxygen , duh
The sun is actually just a giant mirror that makes small things look really big and the thing you see in the sky is just a really bright light bulb
Spite. Pure spite. Here, have some cancer you ungrateful bastards.
Good question. The reason the sun is burning in space is because it is very spicy in space.
It's the weight of responsibility for keeping the solar system together.
It's burning from the scorching hot insults we throw at it.
Here's my insult to feed the sun
Youre trying to be the center of attention, but really you're just a big ball of gas with a serious ego problem, and you don't see it because you're blinded by yourself.
The Sun uses original oxygen called hydrogen, that and she thicc af with all that gravity
The sun is the male of its species, and it's appearance is bright and flashy, used to attract a mate. Unfortunately there's no female stars nearby. So the poor, stupid thing has spent billions of years courting Jupiter instead.
But not only is Jupiter a whole different species, it already has a mate - Saturn. You can easily tell that Jupiter's the male because of its own flashy coloration. Plus, you can even see the ring it gave Saturn when they got married, as well as it's own much more modest wedding ring.
Little known fact, stars are actually like angler fish... The male is significantly smaller than the female of the species.
"Shock, shock, horror, horror. Shock, shock, horror."

It's the ultimate min-maxed fireballb spell, slowly expanding after its initial casting some 4 to 5 billion years ago (relative local time). We're in range of its blast radius, but the caster's turn still hasn't ended so it hasn't reached us yet.
Because it isn't burning, it's exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that's going off veeeeeery slowly
You got it the wrong way round
Space has no oxygen because the Sun burned it all.
I like this one because it's almost close to being true.
After it gets dark, they refill it with lighter fluid. Every morning they light it fresh with a big ‘ole Zippo.
