Basic Features
The Sun is a fiery giant orb of mass M = 1.9989 × 1030 kg, mostly made up of hydrogen and helium. The Sun is an average sized star formed about 4.6 billion years ago. The radius of the Sun is 6.96 × 105 km. The Sun is located at centre of our Solar System and it is the main source of energy for it. All planets are "fed" by portions of solar energy originating from the Sun.
