The classic!
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
A gigantic nuclear furance.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.
Yo-ho 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 needs its light, we need its heat, we need its energy.
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
A gigantic nuclear furance.
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, the sun is only a middle sized star.
The sun is far away...
About 93 million miles away...and thats why it looks so small.
And even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night and day.
The sun gives heat , the sun gives 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 comes from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,
A gigantic nuclear furance.
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees.
-- Why does the sun shine? They Might Be Giants.

And though you may take her and make her your own
You'll always be riding with Private Malone" David Ball, "Private Malone"
