Question

Does the sun get its energy from nuclear fission reactions?

Answer 1

yeah

Answer 2

No.

The suns energy is from FUSION reactions.  The sun is in what is called the Hydrogen Burn stage, where hydrogen atoms are FUSED to make Helium  atoms.

FISSION is where a single atom is split to make two or mor smaller atoms.  FUSION is where two small atoms are jammed together to make a slightly larger atom.  This "jamming together" of atoms is priomarily caused by the immense gravity at the center of the sun.

Answer 3

sun produces energy by fusion reaction not fission, don't confuse with fission reaction

Answer 4

No. The sun gives off energy due to nuclear fusion. The sun uses fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.

Answer 5

yes! interesting question by the way :)
