The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas

We are studying astronomy this year.  Right now we are learning about the sun.  It is about 93,000,000 miles away.  And it is so big that a million earths would fit in it.  

We learned about why you should never look directly at the sun by doing a little experiment outside.  We got to melt chocolate with a magnifying glass.   

Of course, I already knew all this since I have heard my dad singing this song for my entire life.

The "They Might Be Giants" version might be a little more enjoyable.  But, it doesn't remind me of dad as much.
