Key Stage 3
Meaning
The Sun is a star at the centre of The Solar System.
About The Sun
- The Sun is a large glowing ball of gas that is heated by a nuclear reaction in its core.
- The Sun radiates light and infra-red light that supplies energy to the Earth.

About The Sun
- The Sun is a large glowing ball of gas that is heated by a nuclear fusion reaction in its core.
- The Sun is balanced between the inward force of gravity which pulls it in to collapse and the outward force caused by the nuclear fusion of Hydrogen isotopes in the core.
- The Sun radiates light and infra-red light that transfers energy to the Earth.
- The Sun is the source of energy for photosynthesis.
- The Sun is a medium sized star compared to others in the galaxy.
