It is a source of power that lies buried deep in the central core, where a nuclear furnace rages non-stop, turning matter into pure heat and light. Slightly bigger than a typical star, the sun is large enough by volume to swallow 1.3 million earth. It consists of 98.8% of all matter in the solar system and the force of gravity generated by this enormous mass keeps the planets trapped in orbit around it.
