They Might Be Giants The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas Lyrics

The Sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on earth thered be no life
Without the light it gives

We need its light
We need its heat
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy

The Sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot

The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas: aluminum, copper, iron and many others.

The sun is large

If the sun were hollow, a million earths would fit inside. And yet, it is only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away

About 93 million miles away, and thats why it looks so small.

But even when its out of sight
The sun shines night and day

We need it's heat
We need it's light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. the heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and helium.*

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
