THE SUN
I learned the following information from an article at this website.
The Sun’s surface temperature is 5800 degrees Kelvin. Compared with other stars it is of a medium size. Its average size allows for the optimal burning efficiency of its fuel. It has a steady and slow conversion of matter into energy through nuclear fusion. The energy is released in the form of light when it shines. The Sun will last about another 5 billion years. When it has converted all the hydrogen and helium into energy it will become a red giant, which means its surface temperature will drop and its size will increase.
The Sun emits high energy particles and gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared and radio radiation. These are all forms of light, or electromagnetic energy.Almost 98% of the total mass in the solar system is the Sun. The other 2% is the planets, moons, comets and asteroids.
