In the Sun hydrogen is converted to helium. Both are PLASMA.
It's a very common misconception that the fusion in the sun happens with gas. However, the heat created by this fusion heats up the gasses so much that the individual electrons become loose from the atom. We call this state plasma.

∙ 12y agoAlthough it is a close description, the sun does not burn. It undergoes nuclear fusion, primarily of hydrogen to helium and at the same time producing massive amounts of energy. Secondly, it does not release any gas; all of the Sun's material is in the form of plasma, the fourth state of matter.

because burning is an oxidation process.
Hydrogen fuses to form helium,
at least for stars in the main stage

the sun burns from all the gases it creates naturally
How does the sun recreates back the burning gases?
The Sun does not recreate the gases it fuses to make energy. Eventually, in about 4 billion years, the Sun will run out of energy and become a red giant.
