No. The sun is not a fire like we encounter on Earth. It is powered by nuclear fusion rather than combustion. At the core of the sun hydrogen atoms are fusing to form helium atoms, which releases many orders of magnitude more energy than any combustion reaction. Carbon and oxygen are present in the sun in small concentrations, but the sun is too hot for molecules to form.

Which of these does not emit light waves the moon or a light bulbor the sun or a campfire?
The moon does not emit light waves. It reflects light from the sun. The sun, light bulb, and campfire emit light waves through processes like nuclear fusion or combustion.
What spectrum does the sun emit?
The Sun emits radiation across almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
How does the sun emit radiant energy?
As an outcome of nuclear fusion of sun light elements ofDeuteriumand tritium
Do stars reflect light from moon or sun?
Stars do not reflect light from the Moon or the Sun. Stars emit their own light due to nuclear fusion reactions happening in their cores. The light we see from stars is the result of this emission, not reflection.
Why can you see the moon even though it does not emit its own light?
The moon reflects light from the sun, making it visible to us on Earth. This reflected light allows us to see the moon in the night sky even though it does not emit its own light.
