Gravity plays a crucial role in the sun's energy production through the process of nuclear fusion. The immense gravitational force at the sun's core compresses hydrogen atoms, creating the conditions necessary for fusion to occur, where hydrogen nuclei combine to form helium and release energy. This energy then radiates outward, counteracting the gravitational pull and maintaining the sun's stability. Without gravity, the necessary pressure and temperature for fusion would not be achievable, halting the sun's energy production.

How do you know that gravity does not produce the sun's energy?

You can indeed get energy from gravitational contraction. However, theoretical calculations show that this type of energy can in no way power the Sun for 4.6 billions of years - and it is known that Earth, and the Solar System, have approximately that age.

Do planets and the sun interact?

Yes, planets and the sun interact through gravitational forces. The sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets' gravity tugs on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. Additionally, the sun's energy and solar wind affect the planets' atmospheres and magnetic fields.
