Fusion is the combining 2 atoms together. The sun is fusing helium into hydrogen. This let’s off an enormous amount of energy as the bonds that hold the singular 3 helium atoms together is very strong. The reason why the sun can do this is because how massive it is and how much gravity it has.

Sorry I’m not sure how to describe a Solar flare though.
