Sun Loving Facts

Life on earth would not exist without the sun!

The sun is the nearest star.

The sun's heat creates all of the weather on earth. It makes the ocean currents move, the wind blow, and rain or snow fall from the sky.

Energy from the sun is free. It's also clean, meaning it causes no pollution. Since the sun gives off more energy than we would ever need, it's renewable. It will never run out.
