Nope. The sun does not burn.
The sun is a huge mass of hydrogen amd its sister elements -Deuterium and Tritium. Being so huge, all the atoms of these elements are crushed together inside the sun.
When these atoms are crushed under such tremendous conditions, the deuterium, notably, will fused together to form helium.
When 2 deuterium atoms form helium, each atom loose a little of its mass which will be released into the open as pure energy. These little masses will be converted into energy using the famous equation E=mc(squared).
No smoke is generated. Only heat. It is just like the nuclear reactor. No smoke is generated. Only heat.

Smoke is produced by combustion processes such as burning fuel. As for the sun, the "burning" of the sun is not due to combustion but instead caused by nuclear fusion reactions. Also smoke is "air-borne". Space is a vacuum therefore no air(atmosphere) exists.

The sun is NOT on fire!
If it would be on Fire(thats impossible cuz the sun gives no air)In this10000....of years the whole star would not exist enymore.
The light that u can see from the sun is coming from the nuclear reactions to be exaclear FUSION the correct word.
That reaction makes radiations and light.
To tell shortly and easy,the sun suffers on billions of explosions every second...LOL

No smoke, because the Sun is not "on fire". What you're seeing is the resultant light emitted from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms in the core of the Sun.

The smoke falls to the Earth and becomes clouds.
UFOs use that smoke for curing their meat.
The UFO hippies are all busy inhaling the smoke.

Burning is a chemical reaction.Fusion is a nuclear reaction.The sun uses fusion

You could call the helium and solar wind produced "smoke" I guess

No. It isn't on fire. It's a nuclear reaction called fusion. It results in heat, light, and radiation.
