That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The Sun is made up of glowing gases. The Sun is primarily composed of hydrogen (about 74% of its mass) and helium (about 24% of its mass). These gases undergo nuclear fusion in its core, which releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This process is what makes the Sun shine and provides energy for life on Earth.
