ABOUT THIS READER
The Sun is the heart of our solar system and the closest star to Earth. Composed of hot plasma, the Sun generates energy through nuclear reactions in its core, with temperatures reaching 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. This energy sustains life on Earth, driving weather and enabling photosynthesis. The Sun rotates, displaying features like sunspots and releasing solar flares that can create auroras. Its gravitational pull holds the solar system together. Shining for 4.6 billion years, the Sun is essential for studying other stars and understanding solar effects on technology. To us, it remains the most critical star in the galaxy.
