| 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 millions 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 its out of site
|
| 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.
