What is Sun?

The Sun is a giant ball of fire that gives us light and warmth.

Imagine you have a really big, glowing lollipop, and it’s so big that it fills the whole sky. That's kind of what the Sun looks like from Earth. It’s not just a pretty light in the sky, it’s actually burning super hot inside, like a huge fireball!

The Sun is made mostly of hydrogen, which is like the building block of stars. When the hydrogen gets squeezed together under extreme pressure and heat, it starts to change into helium, and in the process, it creates light and heat, this is called a nuclear reaction.

Think of it like a giant kitchen where everything is cooking at once! The fire from this cooking is what makes the Sun shine so bright. That same energy travels all the way to Earth, which helps plants grow, keeps us warm, and even makes the weather happen!

So next time you feel the warmth of the Sun, remember, it's like a giant, glowing lollipop in the sky, cooking up light and heat for you!
