  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
  
  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 its light
  we need its heat
  we need its energy
  without the sun, without a doubt
  there'd be no you and me
  
  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
  
  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
  
  the sun gives heat
  the sun gives 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 of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.*
