-.- they are dead. Read a book.

The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.
The sun is a bad smell that creates disease?
Yes, a disease called "life". Easily curable though.
Yeah, with even more sunlight.

It is the flaming tail of the turtle that the Turth (turtle-earth...
Because it isn't burning, it's exploding like a very big big big stick of TNT that's going off veeeeeery slowly
space contains all of the oxygen
I remember reading once that if the sun was made of entirely wood .. it would take about 5,000 years to burn out.... which is roughly the same timeline and age given by the Christian Bible.
After it gets dark, they refill it with lighter fluid. Every morning they light it fresh with a big ‘ole Zippo.
This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!
When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!
So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!
Hello friend
it must be the poop bear
The sun burns differently, it's burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine
There is oxygen in space, it's just a different type of oxygen that we can't see
You guys can see oxygen?
Because there isn't enough water to put it out
it's flaming because of all the gay
it's hot.
it produces its own oxygen , duh

Am I the only one who can't watch his shows or movies because he's so unsettling and odd looking?

You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we've never been able to observe them.
Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!
