The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace 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 need 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 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 the 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 from the sun are caused by the nuclear reaction between Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees |
