  1. The sun is not in "outer space" because it is big enough to have enough gravity to have an atmosphere, but more importantly...
  2. The sun is not burning. It is undergoing nuclear fusion because it is so big and generates so much gravity, that the gravity actually forces elements together in the core. This resembles burning only in that it produces a hell of a lot of heat and light.
