Sun

The Sun is the star closest to Earth and forms the centre of the solar system. It is an average-sized star in the outer third of the Milky Way. The Sun is a dwarf star (yellow dwarf) that is in the evolutionary stage of the Main Sequence. It contains 99.86% of the mass of the solar system. Its diameter of 1.4 million kilometres is about 110 times that of the Earth. The surface of the Sun shows a varying number of sunspots, which are associated with strong magnetic fields. Among other phenomena, they are called solar activity. Solar radiation is one of the basic prerequisites for the development of life on Earth. The sun obtains the energy for solar radiation from the fusion of hydrogen into helium. The celestial path of the sun divides the day and the year. It has been worshipped in this role in solar cults since prehistoric times.
