The sun is a 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. The sun is not a place that we could live. But here on Earth there'd be no life without the light it gives. We need it's light, we need its heat, we need its energy. The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy.

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 only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away. 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

Plants and animals need light and heat to live and grow. All the other planets go around the sun, too, but Earth is the only planet where we can live. The sun gives us just the right amount of heat and light.
Not sure why i circle, but I couldn't image a square. Maybe circles give off heat differently.
The color? Don't know. I guess because of the gases, it's hot like fire, which can be a yellow orange at times.

Things in the natural world do not have a purpose.

The sun looks like a circle because it is a sphere. This is because gravity pulls it inwards towards its centre. When it is a sphere, every part of it is as close to the centre as possible.

The sun glows white because it is very very hot.

the sun is like a large pin that is holding our planet (and others) with (its gravity) a rope.
the sun has lots of fuel inside it and it burns like a big fire--the color and the heat it produces gives us energy to sustain
