Why do some party balloons explode with fire? It’s not helium’s fault. Helium is an inert gas—completely non-flammable and totally safe. But some people confuse it with hydrogen, which is highly flammable. Hydrogen floats even better and costs less, so it's sometimes used in cheap party balloons or science demos. But when a spark or flame hits a hydrogen-filled balloon, it can explode in a ball of fire. So if you ever see a balloon burst into flames, remember: it wasn’t helium—it was hydrogen. |

The Sun isn’t “burning” in the way we understand fire on Earth. Fire needs oxygen for combustion, but space is almost a perfect vacuum. Instead, the Sun produces energy through nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms are forced together under extreme pressure and temperature to form helium. This process releases an enormous amount of energy, described by E = mc², converting tiny amounts of mass into pure energy. That energy travels across space as light and heat, sustaining life on Earth. So the Su
