Modern science has now proven that the sun, whose reliable path across the sky gives us the contours of our days and the duration of our nights, is the focal point of our solar system. The sun is, in fact, a star that is nearly 110 times the size of Earth and comprises more than 99% of the solar system’s mass, which creates enou
A. earth.
B. stars.
C. sky.
