"Sonne"

"Sonne" is the German word for "sun." It refers to the star at the center of our solar system, which is a massive, glowing ball of hot gases, primarily hydrogen and helium. The sun produces light and heat through nuclear fusion, powering life on Earth and driving our planet’s climate. It appears as a bright, yellowish disk in the sky during the day and influences weather patterns, seasons, and the environment. Its gravitational pull keeps planets, including Earth, in orbit, making it essential for sustaining life and maintaining the structure of our solar system.
