Besides, everyone knows
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 it’s light
We need it’s heat
We need it’s energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There’d be no you and me”

What do you mean by the "the sun is the ball of electrical light". Even if that were right, the use of the word "the" implies that it's the only one...if there were a link to credit card ads in your comment, I would've deleted it as spam, but there aren't so maybe you have a good point made badly.

Such as : " the sun is the ball of electrical light " , nahhh , that's it's is. Hopes you will haves a nice days , and , a beautiful lives. And , always remembers me. Bye.
