The sun is a nuclear reaction. It gets it's energy from the fusion (squeezing together) of hydrogen atoms. The energy comes from the conversion of mass into energy via Einstein's famous E= mc^2 . Fire is a chemical process that uses oxygen. The sun has no flames, no oxygen. No comparison in the amount of energy released.

But don't worry. most of my students come in thinking the sun is a big fire as well. This was the widely held belief into the 20th century until the process of fusion was uncovered. Previous to that, there were arguments as to what it was: a bunch of wood, coal, hydrocarbons, etc. None of these explanations, however, could come even close to explaining the intense energy output and longevity (about 4.5 billion years) of the sun.

Doesn't change the wonderful photos here!

Ok I'm back. This time with FIRE.

Couple campfires by night..

Indeed! :D

Amazing what different lighting effects you can get just by changing your position on a subject. So here are a few for wind, all taken this afternoon.
