Cotton candy is nothing but pure sugar. To make the sugar "cottony," you need four things:
Heat to melt the sugar and turn it into a liquid
A set of very small holes that the liquid sugar can flow through to form threads of sugar
A spinning head that slings the liquid sugar outward so it is forced through the holes
A bowl to catch the threads
The head contains the heater to melt the sugar and make it liquid. Then, by spinning the head, the cotton candy machine forces the liquid sugar out through tiny holes in the head. The instant the thin threads of sugar hit the air, they cool and re-solidify, so in the bowl of the machine a web of sugar threads develops. The web is easily collected on a paper cone.
If you mix water with cotton candy it instantly dissolves, and you can see that it's nothing but a tablespoon or two of sugar filling the entire bag. It's amazing how much you can charge for sugar, air and a little coloring!

Sugar is poured and food coloring added to the center of a cotton candy machine. Heaters near the rim melt the sugar and it is spun out through a myriad of tiny holes where it solidifies in the air and is caught in a large metal ring.

MELTED SUGAR AND AIR:
Sugar is melted into a liquid state and then spun it in the cotton candy machine. The machine forces the liquid through tiny holes that shape and cool the liquid sugar. After it cools, the sugar becomes a solid again.

Sugar. It's just colored and flavored. It's heated up and comes out in strings that cool upon reaching the air.
That's the simple explaination for it, I bought a cotton candy machine reciently, they're fun.
