The Sun is our main source of natural light. It is a star, which is a giant ball of very hot gas that makes its own light.

The sun lights up our planet during the day, keeps us warm, and provides energy for plants to grow.

💡 Fun Facts

  • The Sun is so big that you could fit one million Earths inside it!
  • The light from the Sun takes about 8 minutes to travel all the way to Earth.
  • You must never look directly at the Sun as its powerful light can seriously hurt your eyes. Always wear sunglasses on bright days to protect them.
