what is the sun?

Answer 1

A star that holds our solar system together through gravity. I gives heat and life to our planet.

Answer 2

It is a star and a huge and burning gas ball. If you imagine earth with dia of 8000 miles to be speck of size .5mm then sun's size is like that of a tennis ball(slightly less). Its surface temp is 6000deg centigrade. It is at a distance of 93 million miles. It is the sole source of energy and therefore life on our planet. Sun's energy comes from fission reactions at the core where in Hydrogen gets converted to Helium. That is the reason Sun is also known as Helios. The age of Sun and that of planet earth is believed to be 5000 million years. Sun is loosing its mass gradually and Earth is moving out farther. But these changes are miniscule. Some day it might be possible(after trillions of years) when Earth will come out of Sun's gravitational field. It will then travel in a straight line as per Newton's first law. All life on planet earth will end and it will be frozen totally until it enters the gravitational field of another star when if conditions are right(just as now)life forms may once again exist on earth!

Answer 3

The Sun is a mass of incadescent gas,
a gigantic nuclear furnace.
Where hydrogen is built into hel-IUM!
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 it's light, we need it's heat,
we need it's energy.
Without the sun, without a doubt,
there'd be no you and me.
The Sun is a mass of incadescent gas,
a gigantic nuclear furnace.

The sun is hot...
The sun is so hot that everything on it's a gas.
Aluminium, Copper, Iron, Wood, and hair.
The sun is larrrr-ge...
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths would fit inside,
and yet... it's only... a medium-sized... star.
The sun is far away...
IT'S ABOUT 93 MILLION MILES AWAY!
That's why it looks so small.
But even when it's out of sight,
the sun shines night and day.
We need it's heat, we need it's 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 from the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between
Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen,
The.....
sun is a mass of incandescant gas,
a gigantic nuclear furnace,
where hydrogen is built into helium,
at a temperature of millions of degrees...!

Answer 4

A sun a the central star within a solar system. The Sun, is the name that we give to our local sun.

Answer 5

The sun is made of hydrogen that is converted into helium, it is formed from a cloud of gas and dust, it is predicted to die within 5 billion years, then life in our planet will stop to exist, but don't worry about it you have 5 more billion years to drink and party.

Answer 6

the sun is many million tons of hyrdogen atoms that convert into helium atoms. the chemical change that takes place is the reason why it is so hot. the ancient greece used to call the sun the 'helios' and also it has mistakely been refered to as the 'hell' of the bible. the bottomless pit is desciptive of the black hole that occurs when stars reach the end of their life.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It is a newspaper full of useless news, but page 3 aint bad!!

Answer 9

The star nearest to the earth, round which earth and other planets revolve.

Answer 10

a class G-2 yellow star located approximately 93,000,000 miles from earth. May be ten or twenty miles more or less.
