The sun consumes hydrogen to produce energy and helium, approximately 5 billion kilograms, or 5 million tons, every second!

Answer:

Helium is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, helium is produced by nuclear fission, which refers to a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy. So, the hydrogen is consumed by the sun, and as a result of this process, helium is produced.
