The size of the Sun is concerning 109 times that of Earth, and it has a mass about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for concerning 99.86 % of the total mass of the Solar System. Chemically, about three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, whereas the remainder is mainly helium, and much smaller sized quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, iron, neon and carbon.

The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on spectral class and it is informally marked as a yellow dwarf. It developed roughly 4.567 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of issue within a region of a large molecular cloud. The majority of this issue collected in the facility, whereas the remainder squashed right into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The main mass became dense and progressively hot, eventually launching thermonuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that mostly all stars form by this process. The Sun is about middle age and has actually not altered dramatically for four billion years, and will certainly stay rather stable for four billion even more. Nonetheless, after hydrogen blend in its core has quit, the Sun will undergo severe adjustments and end up being a red titan. It is determined that the Sun will certainly come to be adequately large to engulf the current orbits of Mercury, Venus, and perhaps Earth.

The huge effect of the Sun on the Earth has been acknowledged since ancient times, and the Sun has been regarded by some societies as a divine being. Earth's activity around the Sun is the basis of the solar calendar, which is the primary schedule in usage today.
