Why Does The Sun Shine?

The sun is a mass of incandescant gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is 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 it's light
We need it's heat
We need it's energy
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you or me.

The sun is a mass of incandescant gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot
The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas
Copper, iron, aluminum on the surface of the sun are all gas.
The sun is large
The sun is so large, a million Earths could fit inside
And yet, sun's just a middle-sized star
The sun is far away
It's about ninety-three million miles away, and that's why it looks so small
But even when it's out of sight, it shines both night and day

The sun gives light
The sun gives heat
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-crushing machine
The heat and light of the sun are cause by the nuclear reaction between
Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium

The sun is a mass of incandescant gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun, ladies and gentlemen
