The sun is a massive nuclear fusion machine held together by gravity. It makes heavier atomic nuclei out of lighter ones, and we call the process stellar nucleosynthesis. Links to relevant Wikipedia posts can be found below.

Is it a fact or a prediction that the sun will rise tomorrow?

It is a prediction that the sun will rise tomorrow, based on the consistent patterns of Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun. While this phenomenon has occurred every day in recorded history, it remains a prediction rather than a guaranteed fact, as unforeseen events could theoretically alter this pattern. However, in practical terms, we operate under the assumption that the sun will rise as expected.


How do you get energy through solar panels?

Solar panels use the energy of the sun to operate. Some panels will produce an electrical current when sunlight reaches them. Others use fluid filled pipes to turn the sun's energy into heat. With either method, energy from the sun reaches the panel as radiated energy and is converted to electrical or heat energy.
