How the sun works
The sun is a giant ball of burning, glowing gases. It is 333 400 times the mass of the
Earth and 109 times its diameter. The sun shines because of the incredible amount of energy
produced by a nuclear reaction called nuclear fusion. This reaction occurs in the center of the
sun, also called the core. Nuclear fusion works by taking the nucleuses of atoms - in this case,
hydrogen atoms - and forcing them together, creating a new element - in this case, helium.
Nuclear fusion creates immense amounts of energy which is radiated in the form of
electromagnetic radiation, which includes infrared radiation, visible light, x-rays and gamma
rays.
