The Sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, primarily composed of hydrogen (about 74%) and helium (about 24%), with trace amounts of heavier elements. It is the central star of our solar system, providing the necessary heat and light that sustains life on Earth. The Sun generates energy through nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. Its surface temperature is approximately 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), while the core reaches around 15 million degrees Celsius (27 million degrees Fahrenheit).
