Why Does the Sun Shine?

• Have you ever wondered why the sun shines?

Inside the sun there is a lot of pressure, so much pressure that it forces the atoms to group together. The clustered hydrogen atoms fuse and generate helium atoms (Manzanas, 2019). As a result of nuclear fusion, helium atoms lose mass and release it as energy that reaches us in the form of light (Astromía, n.d.).
