The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace,
|
where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.
|
|
Yo ho! It's hot, the sun is not a place where we could live.
|
But here on earth there'd be no life without the light it gives.
|
|
We need its light.
|
We need its heat.
|
We need its energy.
|
Without the sun without a doubt there'd be no you and me.

|
|
The sun is hot.
|
The sun is so hot, that everything on it is a gas, copper, iron, aluminum on the surface of the sun are all gas.
|
|
The sun is large.
|
The sun is so large, a million earths could fit inside, and yet the sun's just a middle-sized star.
|
|
The sun is far away.
|
Its about 93 million miles away, and thats why it looks so small!
|
But even when its out of sight, it shines night and day.
|
|
The sun gives light.
|
The sun gives heat.
|
The sunlight that we see.
|
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy.
|
|
[Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-crushing machine. The heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reactions between hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, and helium!]
