Mar 25, 2015 at 16:58 comment added Bob The Janitor If you really want to play loose with terminology, the sun "burns" with nuclear fusion and produces "smoke" in the form of plasma. This is very simplified, grossly inaccurate, but it gives an easy to describe visualization of the process.

Mar 24, 2015 at 18:08 comment added Dan C Also, the saying is "Where there's smoke, there's fire". So the existence of smoke would imply the existence of a fire, but not vice-versa.

Mar 24, 2015 at 8:03 comment added pela Why the downvote? Thinking that the Sun is on fire is quite common. We even use the term "stars burn their fuel" and similar terms. Googling the answer is not straightforward if you have no idea where to start. +1 from me.
