Lyrics
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun it's 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 its light
We need its heat
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
[It is so hot that everything on it is a gas, iron, copper, aluminum and many others.]
The sun is large
[If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside, and yet it is only a middle-sized star.]
The sun is far away
[About 93,000,000 miles away, and thats why it looks so small!]
But even when its out of sight, the sun shines night and day
We need its heat
We need its light
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-smashing machine. the heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reactions between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and helium!]
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
