What is 'the sun'?

Question

I have heard a rumor that in countries where it doesn't always rain, that there is this thing in the sky, called 'the sun', that shines down on you and makes it 'warm'.

Is this just a myth, or does this thing exist? If it does, do you think we will ever see it here in the uk?

If anyone who has seen this is reading it, what more can you tell me about it?

Answer 1

Yes, here in the US it here too
It is an average sized yellow star ( a ball of plasma that creates fussion ) that radiates radiation and light. It causes day and night a the moon to become visible.

Answer 2

the sun is the center of the solar system
it is the most prominent feature in the solar system
it is the largest object and is approximately 98% of the total solar system mass
without it,living things or life on earth will not exist
109 earths will be required to fit in the sun
it has 4 parts chromosphere,photosphere,corona and prominences
it is believed that the sun has been active and living for 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to live for another 5 000 000 000[five billion] years
by the way,is there no sun in uk
it's easy to make it
get a flashlight
make a circle using a yellow construction paper
then go to the outer space
paste it there

Answer 3

Of course the sun is a myth started by "scientists".

The earth is flat and the fire in the sky is the gods' torch.

Answer 4

The Sun is a star and the biggest one in our solar system. It is about 93,000,000 from earth and without this star, the earth would be a dead plant. The sun is continuously exploding by means of nuclear fussion which creates its heat.The heat given off by an Atomic bomb is the same temperature as the Sun.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yeah unfortunately such thing does exist - but trust me you not missing much. That pieco of garbage is so bright it tends to blind you and heats things up to 115 degrees that's 46 degrees celsius.

Answer 7

in Dreary Erie we call it an UYO (unidentifed Yellow Orb) it is very illusive - if you are very careful you might catch a glimpse of it just before dawn (look to the east it glows yellow sometimes orange) it is very sneaky it likes to hide behind the clouds -- but there are days when it does come out to shock everyone - people stop polint to this yellow orb and ask what is it some people look frightened when they first see it

Answer 8

Well, you know the old joke about the little man walking down the moonbeam with a spanner over his shoulder, and the moonbeam played on the nut and bolt in the womans belly button and the little man came down and undid it with his spanner and throw the nut over one shoulder and the bolt over the other shoulder and turned round and walked up the moonbeam which then disappeared and the woman's bottom fell off? . . . . . well, that has nothing what-so-ever to do with the sun, you see . . .

Answer 9

I thought that was a hole in the sky that let the light through.

I do know that a lid comes over at night, and that is full of holes we call Stars.
