The sun is the largest star in our solar system. How ever there are many stars like it in the wider universe. The earth is just the right distance from the sun that our planet is not to hot or not to cold. The light from the sun takes eight minutes to reach , and gives life to plants. Astronauts will never be able to land on the sun, as it reaches five thousand five hundred degrees Celsius. One hundred times hoter than humans can stand. The sheer size of the sun means that its gravitational pull forces all the planets in our solar system to orbit around it. Born five billion years ago the sun has been producing light and heat for a very long time.
