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.
the Sun in Orbiter
As of Orbiter 2016 the sun's mean radius is 6.96×108 meters and its mass is 1.9889194444×1030 kilograms.
In Orbiter, the Sun's physics and texture can be changed by editing the Sun.cfg (found in Config folder) and Star.dds (found in Textures folder).
