Letra de Why Does The Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas)
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degreesThe sun is hot, the sun is not A place where we could live But here on Earth there'd be no life Without the light it givesWe need it's light We need it's heat The sunlight that we see The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energyThe sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degreesThe sun is hot The sun is so hot that everything on it is a gas: aluminum, copper, iron, and many othersThe sun is large If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside And yet, it is only a middle-sized starThe sun is far away About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so smallBut even when it's out of sight The sun shines night and dayWe need its heat We need its light The sunlight that we see The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energyScientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine The heat and light of the sun are caused by the nuclear reactions between hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon and heliumThe sun is a mass of incandescent gas A gigantic nuclear furnace Where hydrogen is built into helium At a temperature of millions of degrees
