What is the Sun?

Explanation:
The Sun is a luminous star at the center of our solar system. It provides the gravity that keeps Earth and the other planets in orbit and emits the light and heat that power life and weather on Earth. It’s mainly hydrogen and helium in a hot plasma state, with energy released by nuclear fusion in its core. This fusion process and the Sun’s enormous gravity distinguish it from the other possibilities: it’s not a planet, not a distant galaxy, and not a comet.
