The Sun, the heart of our solar system, is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma interconnected with magnetic fields. It is the most prominent source of light and heat for Earth, responsible for driving the climates and weather patterns we experience. Composed primarily of hydrogen, which feeds the nuclear fusion process that generates its radiant energy, it has a surface temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius. Its equatorial diameter is about 1.4 million kilometers, over 100 times that of Earth. From a distance of around 93 million miles away from us, the Sun shines brightly, illuminating our world and fostering life, casting shadows in the day and coloring the sky at dawn and dusk.
