    The Sun produces heat and light through nuclear fusion in its core, which travels through space and reaches Earth. The Sun provides almost all of Earth's energy, as its light and heat drive photosynthesis, power weather patterns through evaporation, and were stored in fossil fuels formed from ancient organisms. The Sun therefore greatly affects Earth through both the energy and conditions it provides.

    THE SUN

    4-3.3 Explain how the Sun affects Earth.

    Essential Question:
    How does the sun affect Earth?
    It is essential to know that the Sun as a star produces heat and light
    deep down inside of it.

    The Sun produces and gives off its own heat and light.
    Earth receives that heat and light after they travel through space.
    The Sun is the source of almost all energy on Earth:
    Plants take the Suns energy and use it to make food energy.
    The Suns energy causes weather conditions on Earth.
    Heat from the Sun causes the process of evaporation of water on Earths
    surface.
    The Suns energy is stored in fossil fuels (for example, coal, oil, or natural
    gas) that formed from some organisms that died long ago.
