Yes. Plasma (ionized gas) of hydrogen caused by nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium at the sun's core. There is no fire on the sun (fire requires oxygen, which there is none).

Please find your History Channel schedule and don't miss the next installment of "The Universe". Unfortunately, you missed this last Tuesday's episode in the miniseries which featured everyl sort of facts and figures about.......you guessed it, the Sun.
Yes, the Sun REALLY is a huge ball of plasma, not like you think of plasma, but really, really DENSE -- hundreds of times as dense as LEAD, not pencil lead, but the lead used to make ammunition.
Thankfully, there are people who took the time and effort to learn all they could about the nature of the Sun. Otherwise, we might stilll be believing that the Sun was a humongous floating pile of burning wood, like was held by ordinary common folk two hundred years ago.
Again, Wikipedia...................
