While this is a very detailed explanation of the workings of the Sun, the explanation about auroras could be misunderstood. The energetic particles do not have enough energy to cause auroras directly. What happens is that the magnetic field from the Sun and the earth get entangled and earth's field lines stretches out on the far side of the Sun. At some point these field lines collapse again and the released energy is transferred to the charged particles in the solarwind, and they then generate auroras. as far as I understand it.

4: 13 Kilgore Trout once visited the Sun-s surface against his will: -I transported him to the Taj Mahal and then to Venice and then to Dar es Salaam and then to the surface of the Sun, where the flames could not consume him-and then back to Midland City. - (Kurt Vonnegut, -Breakfast of Champions-)

Phil, I had a question regarding the sun that if it is combined with Hydrogen and Helium and as we know that
water is a compound (H2O) so why is Hydrogen combined in with the sun.

What I find absolutely remarkable is not that the sun generates all that energy every second, but that is does it every second for billions of years

Why is the sun the only star that have orbits and planets and the stars that have more mass than the sun don't have planets around them
