It doesn't use oxygen. It's a nuclear reactor combining hydrogen to form helium and giving off energy. It's a controlled hydrogen bomb

Nuclear reactions do not require oxygen.
Fire is a chemical reaction and with oxygen as one of the requirements to produce the energy with creates fire.

It's a nuclear fire, if it needed oxygen it would have burned out long ago.

4 hydrogen atoms are fused, making a nuclear fusion, making the energy of the sun. (in very simple terms)

because the chemical processes that cause the sun to burn also provide it with its own o2 therefore fueling its own fire.
