It's burning with hatred for earth. It wants to consume it, but it will take time to gather enough strength...
Time in which frustratingly, its flaming hate transformed earth into a unique, living planet, and lead to the most vile and disgusting creation in the entire universe, My Little Pony.

And who is adding more wood to it? Ancient Egyptians?

No oxygen in space? Dude, there's tons of it, it's just all getting sucked into the sun. The further away from the sun you get, the more oxygen there is.

Trick question. The sun is in the sky (daytime) not in space (nighttime)! As we all know, the higher you are, the less there is oxygen. That is because the sun burns most of the oxygen in the sky. Fortunately plants produce oxygen in the daytime faster than the sun burns it. It's common sense really.

This is solid science. 10/10 would smoke again.

Because the sun is so full of hate that it literally cannot stop burning

It's only desire is to engulf the Earth and kill every living thing on it. One day the sun, one day...

Simple. It's the combustion process of the luminiferous aether, which is like the cosmic equivalent of air, just finer and undetectable by modern instruments. See, the sun doesn't need oxygen like regular fires because it's tapping into this vast reservoir of aether that permeates the entire universe. As the sun rotates, it creates pressure waves that compress the aether particles, causing them to vibrate intensely. These vibrations generate heat through a process called “aetheric oscillation.”

Now, since the sun is massive, it can harness an unlimited amount of aether, and the energy release is what we experience as sunlight. Think of it like a giant cosmic steam engine, except instead of coal and water, it's running on pure space aether and high-velocity vibrations. And that’s why it keeps burning without needing any of that "earthbound" oxygen nonsense. It's all about the oscillation efficiency, really.

The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.

Duh, because of fusion of course.

Protons in the sun's core fuse until they form oxygen and carbon and those burn on the surface.
