太阳 (Tai Yang)

太阳 (Tai Yang), or the Sun, is a massive, luminous sphere of hot plasma at the center of our solar system. It generates energy through nuclear fusion, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing light and heat. This energy sustains life on Earth, influences climate, and drives weather patterns. The Sun's gravity keeps planets, including Earth, in orbit around it. Its surface appears bright and glowing due to the intense radiation emitted from its outer layer, called the photosphere. As the nearest star, the Sun plays a crucial role in the dynamics of our solar system and the broader universe.
