The sun is a star made up of hot gases, primarily hydrogen and helium. The light and heat we receive from the sun are produced by nuclear fusion reactions taking place in its core. It appears as a ball of fire due to the intense energy and radiation emitted by these reactions.

A star is a ball of hot gases and plasma. (It's not actually "on fire", but it's similar to a ball of fire in that fire is also mainly hot gases and plasma.) The Sun is a star, so you could look for pictures of the Sun if you wanted to get an idea of what a typical star would look like "up close."
