The sun in the star in the centre of the solar system. The sun by itself accounts for about 99.86% of the solar system mass. the mean distance from the sun to the earth is about 149.6 million kilometers away. The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy at the surface.

Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place.

in the past two to three days the scientist have done a lot of research on the sun and they have find out that the sun have been having clouds coming off the outside of the sun and they stay these clouds run off the sun and just go into space.
