Why Does The Sun Shine?
(The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas)
by They Might Be Giants
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
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 that's 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 come from the nuclear reactions of
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
The Sun takes approximately 30 days to traverse one sign and a whole year to complete its journey through the entire zodiac. The Sun-sign predictions which most of you are very crazy to read day after day are based upon the pattern of the Sun's movement. In reality it is the Earth that moves around the Sun.
Sun's mean distance from earth is 9,30,03,000 miles. Its radius is 4,32,000 miles. All the planets move around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. The Sun is the center of the Solar System. The temperature of the surface of the Sun is about 6000 degrees centigrade and the temperature at the center is said to be about 40 million degrees centigrade.
The Sun rules the will power and ego of an individual. It is the core of the potential and uniqueness of an individual. The Sun signifies who you are and what you are about. It represents the main direction or course of ones life and the focus you want your life to take, and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It is your personal honesty and integrity, and the ability to command respect and authority, to impress and influence others.
The Sun signifies father, courage, power and authority, finances, ambitions, boldness, politician, commanding power, dignity, generosity and kind heartedness. It also rules optimism, administrator, general success, royalty, real love and personality of the native. When afflicted the reverse results.
