Why Does the Sun Shine Lyrics
Artist: They Might Be Giants
Album: Severe Tire Damage - Greatest Hits
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives
We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.
The sun is far away
About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.
And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.*
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

FACTUAL.
This song is helpful.
It actually gave my friend and I some correct answers for our astronomy homework in college.
Long Live TMBG.
I just saw them in concert and they sang a new song which addresses the factual errors in this one. It's called "The Sun is a Miasma of Incandescent Plasma."
dasdasdasdsds
LOL
I just hope our teacher told you that the sun isn't really made out of gas. The new song is really cool and is on the CD Time of Science. The whole new album is amazingly catchy
and not a moment too soon!
