INTRODUCTION

     The sun's surface is about 10,000 degrees and the core is 27,000,000 degrees F degrees. Also, the center of the sun only takes up 2 percent of  the sun's space but holds 60 percent of the mass of the sun.

nuclear fusion

     A detail about the  sun is it does not require oxygen to burn. The sun uses nuclear fusion to produce its intense heat and light.

     Another detail is the sun pulls with so much force that it keeps the planets in orbit.

How does the sun burn?

      The sun does not burn like wood burns, but instead it burns together helium and hydrogen which is its current fuel. It will blend heavier elements to burn as fuel.

     So far the sun has used up about half of its hydrogen fuel  in the last 4.6 billion years since birth. The sun still has enough hydrogen to last another 5 billion years.

    Another fact about the sun is it could fit 1.3 million Earths inside of it   

conclusion

     In conclusion the sun is a very powerful star that we depend on. We as a planet depend on it because it gives us heat and light.  Also the sun started out as a giant ball of gas and dust.
