The Sun

The Sun, that nearby star, is located about 150 million kilometers from Earth and is by far the brightest celestial object we can see

The Sun contains more than 99.8% of all matter in the Solar System. In fact, "almost everything" in the Solar System is in the Sun. It exerts a strong gravitational pull on planets and spins them around. Along with asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and dust, they form the Solar System.

74% of solar matter is Hydrogen (H), another 24% is Helium (He) and the remaining 2% is distributed among various chemical elements, among which are Oxygen (O), Iron (Fe) and Nickel. (Neither). These gases have a convective motion that transports heat and energy outward. This dynamo effect generates a powerful magnetic field
