The sun ,the stare closest to earth ,anchors our solar system.It seems immense to us, but compared with other stare, it is only average in size .For example,Alpha Orion  in the constellation Orion ,commonly

known as Betelgeuse,is almost 400 times bigger than and 10,000 times brighter than the sun . Still, f the sun were hallow, a hundred Earth's could fit inside.

like all stare, sun is a ball of hydrogen gas that radiation heat  and light .It generates power by nuclear fusion Atoms are rammed together, producing nuclear energy. Every second ,the sun converts some four million tons of matter into energy .Earth orbits the sun at a distance ideal for terrestrial life ,provided that earths atmosphere protection us from  the sun's heat and deadly radiation.The sun is a third generation star,composed of recycled elements from tow previous stars .It is about 74 percent hydrogen and 25 percent helium ,with traces of iron, carbon, calcium and sodium. These same elements are found in planets Earth and our bodies
