The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, A gigantic nuclear furnace

A place where we could live

But here on Earth there'd be no life Without the light it gives

the sun is hot
-----------------|
--3--1-----------|

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 only a 
star.

The sun is far away
----------------|
--3--1----------|
-------2-0---0--|

About 93 million 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 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, 
and helium.***
