A NASA infographic titled "Mind-Melting Facts About the Sun." It shows a cutaway illustration of the Sun with labeled layers: solar core, radiative zone, convection zone, photosphere (visible layer), chromosphere, transition zone, and corona (the Sun’s atmosphere). Each layer lists temperatures and densities. Side panels explain temperature vs. heat, the Sun’s lack of a solid surface, and the coronal heating problem. A scale at the bottom compares the thickness of each layer, with Earth shown for reference.

The Sun will one day grow so large it will consume Earth, during its Red Giant phase. Today, it is a stable Yellow Dwarf, fusing hydrogen into helium for about 4.6 billion years. In roughly 5 billion years, its fuel will run out, causing it to expand and likely engulf Mercury, Venus, and Earth.

An illustrated timeline titled "The Life of the Sun." It shows the Sun’s life cycle from birth (4.6 billion years ago) to now, then into the future as it expands into a Red Giant, and finally its death as a planetary nebula in about 5-7 billion years. The Sun is depicted growing larger over time, with labeled stages arranged along a curved path against a space background.

Our Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old star at the centre of our solar system, a hot, glowing ball of hydrogen and helium. The Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometres) away from Earth, and life as we know it would not be possible without its energy. Our solar system's largest object is the Sun. To fill the Sun's volume, 1.3 million Earths would be required.
