The Sun is a giant ball of hot gas at the center of our Solar System. It is so large that about 1 million Earths could fit inside it!
⚡ Fun Fact:The Sun is about 150 million kilometers away from Earth. Light from the Sun takes about 8 minutes to reach us.
The Sun gives us light and warmth. Without the Sun, there would be no life on Earth. Plants use sunlight to make food, and we depend on plants for oxygen.
