The '''Sun''' is the [[star]] at the center of the [[Solar System]] around which the eight planets, several dwarf planets, many satellites, asteroids and smaller objects revolve.

The Sun is a sphere of hot plasma heated by nuclear fusion to incandescence, mainly hydrogen and helium. It is the largest body in the Solar System with a volume 1 300 000 times larger than the Earth.
