The Sun is a huge star located at the center of our Solar System. It gives us light and sunshine every day. The energy we get from the sun is called solar energy. Plants use sunshine to prepare their food. The heat of the sun evaporates water from rivers and oceans, which turns into clouds and causes rain. Too much exposure to the hot summer sun can cause a sunstroke. Today, with modern technology, solar energy has become very useful as we convert it into electricity to power our homes and streets.
