Sun - Wikipedia The Sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies
Our Sun: Facts - Science@NASA Our Sun is a 4 5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system It’s about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star Without the Sun’s energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet
The Sun - Science@NASA The Sun The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything — from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris — in its orbit

Sun | Definition, Composition, Properties, Temperature, Facts . . . Sun, star around which Earth and the other components of the solar system revolve It is the dominant body of the system, constituting more than 99 percent of its entire mass The Sun is the source of an enormous amount of energy, a portion of which provides Earth with the light and heat necessary to support life
Explore Our Dynamic Sun! - NASA Science Solar images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory show different features on the Sun, including sunspots in the visible light spectrum Filaments and prominences can be seen in hydrogen-alpha, coronal mass ejections in X-ray, and details in ultraviolet light
Meet the Sun - Center for Science Education The Sun is a yellow dwarf star at the center of our solar system Earth and all other objects in our solar system orbit around the Sun due to gravity – the Sun contains over 98% of all mass in the solar system and so exerts a strong gravitational pull
The Sun By the Numbers - NASA Solar System Exploration The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris – in its orbit
