The Sun

The sun is in the centre of the solar system. It is said that the earth was born out of the sun. So the sun is the father of the earth. Nobody knows when and how the sun came into being. The sun is the source of heat and light of the earth. The sun provides us with the solar energy. It is the easiest source of energy. It is not possible to live on the earth without the sun. The earth would have been frozen and there would have been no life on this planet without the sun. The rays of the sun kill harmful germs. We owe our existence to the sun. So the sun is worshipped as God in many countries.

The Sun

Our earth abounds in many beautiful objects of nature—rains, plants, trees, flowers and fruits. All these are gifts of the sun. In some hot countries the sun seems to be cruel. In India many people start the day with the prayer to the morning sun. The prayer is thanks giving to the sun for what we owe to it. It is useless to say how kind the sun is. The sun shines for the wide world's joy, not for a favoured few
