The sun is 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 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 |
|
And the surface of the sun are all gas |
|
The sun is large |
|
If 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 its 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 of the sun |
|
Are caused by the nuclear reactions |
|
Between Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen and Helium |
|
The sun is mass of incandescent gas |
|
A gigantic nuclear furnace |
|
Where hydrogen is built into helium |
|
At a temperature of millions of degrees |
