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
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 |

shut up you git
"Cool."
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine
The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium |

"ok"
The sun is hot - it is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others
The sun is large - if the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside and yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star
The sun is far away - about 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small |

| Calling the sun's gas "incandescent" is somewhat misleading. It only produces light as an indirect result of it being heated. |

I like the stories about angels, unicorns and elves as much as anybody else, but when I'm seeking knowledge, either simple or abstract, the facts are with science
"and it was all once a mass of dust......"
god made it ? |

Incandescent implies that the heating directly leads to the production of light, whereas in the sun, it simply allows fusion to more rapidly occur, along with substantial pressure. The fusion produces light. It could be considered incandescent, but as I said, it's misleading. |
