The sun is primarily a unique form of gas known as plasma. However, many scientists consider plasmas to be a unique fourth state of matter. The plasmas within the sun are for the most part hydrogen and helium, which at the temperatures the sun sustains cannot maintain a liquid or solid form.

∙ 13y agoThe sun is made out of gas - mostly hydrogen gas. This gas is compressed into a ball (the sun is a huge 'ball' of gas) by the immense pull of the sun's gravity pulling it towards the centre of the sun. As the gas was compressed when the sun formed millions of years ago, it heated up to such an extent that the hydrogen atoms squashed together so much that they formed larger atoms - mostly of helium. Every four hydrogen atoms would squash into a larger helium atom. This results in a large amount of heat energy being released which makes the sun shine. The correct name for this process is 'thermonuclear fusion'.
no the sun is nuclear like all stars that is how we get light by nuclear reactions

∙ 9y agoYes, the sun is made of hot gases. It is 70% hydrogen and 28% helium. Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen make up the remaining 2%.

∙ 14y agothe sun is made from gas. not liquid or hot rocks.

∙ 14y agoGases exist in in the state of plasma, where the elements are so superheated, the electrons are almost free of their bonds to the atoms.

Is the moon made up of hot burning gases?
No, it is made of solid noncombusting rock. The sun is made of the aforementioned gases.
Why is sun a hot body of gases?
Sun is a hot body of gases because of the preseence of gases like hydrogen and helium.
Is the sun fire?
No, the sun is not really on fire. The sun is just made up of very hot gases the are so hot it gives off light from heat radiation.
What properties does the sun have in common with other stars?
the properties that the sun has in common with other stars is that its made of hot gases and is also a star
Why is the sun made out of lava?
The sun is not made out of lava. It is actually too hot to keep anything in a solid or liquid state so everything that it is made of is in a gaseous state. The sun is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium.
How do you know what the sun is made out of?
The sun is made of hot gases
Sun -what is it made of?

What is a star that is dense and made up of hot gases?
the sun

What is the made up of hot glowing gases mainly hydrogen and helium?
Stars like our sun.
How are planets and sun are different?
The sun is made from hot gases, collected by gravity, in a way so dense, it burns, and planets are either gases or rock, but not dense enough to burn.

Why don't all parts of the sun rotate at the same speed?
It's not a solid. It's made of hot gases.
