Introduction
We all know that the sun is a giant ball of gases, but people used to think the sun was just a big ball of fire. What really provides the sun with it's enormous amounts of energy? How does it give off so much light and heat? This is a brief introduction to the structure of the sun, but the rest of the website has been broken down into sections that the sun is made up of.
The sun is a giant ball of gas, but what gasses make up the sun? The sun is made up of 75% hydrogen. The sun's total mass is made up of about 100% of helium and hydrogen. The sun, much like the earth, is made up of a core with outer layers that surround the core. The sun's three sections are the core, the inner zone, and the atmosphere.
