A star has a large mass, and when the gases of the star undergo gravity compression, they heat up enough to initiate fusion. Firstly by combining four hydrogen to make one helium, thus releasing some spare energy. So the star heats up further, and fusion of other elements becomes possible.
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear Fusion occurs in the core of stars.
Fusion is the main energy source for stars. It is the process by which stars convert hydrogen into helium through nuclear reactions, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Fission, on the other hand, involves the splitting of atomic nuclei and is not the primary energy source for stars.
A star generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy in the form of heat and light is what makes stars shine brightly in the universe.
Yes, stars are fusion reactors.
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Initially it is hydrogen. When that is spent, stars move to fusion of helium. There are also other fusion processes which take place: which process depends on the stars' mass.

Stars are driven by Nuclear Fusion.
That's how stars get their energy.
