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 mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
|
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
|
|
The sun is hot
|
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas
|
Iron, copper, aluminum and many others
|
The sun is large
|
If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside
|
And yet the sun is still only a middle-sized star
|
|
The sun is far away
|
About 93,000,000 miles away, and that's why it looks so small
|
And even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night and day
|
|
The sun gives heat, the sun gives light, 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-smashing machine
|
The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions
|
Of hydrogen,carbon, nitrogen and helium
|
|
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
|
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
