Earth’s very own yellow-dwarf star, The Sun!

Facts: the Sun’s fusion of hydrogen atoms gives our entire solar system light and heat.

The scientific name for our sun is Sol, named for a Germanic pagan goddess. Words like Solar come from the name, Sol

The Sun was central to the Aztecs and Incas’ worship and much of their remaining architecture.

The Sun’s massive magnetic field protects the entire solar system from cosmic radiation.

The solar wind coming off of the Sun is made-up of escaping charged particles and gives visiting comets their tails.
