The Sun is a large mass that gives out light
and heat. Our Sun (SOl) is the main body in
our SOLAR_SYSTEM, it is thought to be over
500 million years old. In its most basic
form it is a huge atomic generator producing
light and heat from the fusion of HYDROGEN
into HELIUM. The sun is so large that you
could fit well over a million earths inside
it and its gravitational pull keeps all the
other planets in their orbits.
The sun was produced by the collection of
gasses within space forming together this
action can be observed today by looking at a
NEBULA.
