Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)
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 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
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
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
Aluminum, copper, iron, and many others
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths would fit inside
And yet, it is only a middle-sized star
The sun is far away
About 93 million miles away
And that's why it looks so small
But even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
We need its heat, we need its 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 are caused by the nuclear reactions
Between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, 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
That's all, ladies and gentlemen
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is 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
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
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
Aluminum, copper, iron, and many others
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths would fit inside
And yet, it is only a middle-sized star
The sun is far away
About 93 million miles away
And that's why it looks so small
But even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
We need its heat, we need its 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 are caused by the nuclear reactions
Between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, 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
That's all, ladies and gentlemen
