Raises its temperature. Causes it to be more visible because of reflected light. Triggers photochemical reactions in the atmosphere. Holds material objects in orbit.

The sun is what holds the planets in its orbits just like the Supermassive Black Holes in the center of every galaxy keep the galaxy looking like a galaxy. Eventually it will run out of hydrogen and helium to burn and it will have to burn other fuels and when those run out it will blow off its outer layers melting and destroying objects with intense heat. It will not explode in a Super Nova only stars many times more massive than the sun explode. Betelgeuse in the constelation of Orion is able to go super nova. When it's down blowing off its outer layers it will shrink and loose mass. It will become an object roughly the size of earth and and will no longer give off the amount of heat it used to and it will turn into an object called a white dwarf and then will fade into another object called a dead star. Good for us this won't happen for roughly another 4 to 5 billion years.

The sun heats up particles in matter and then the particles expand.

the sun effects the worlds gravity; if the sun were to explode which it will much much later, it would send the planets whirling at the speed of light in the milky way
