"Why Do We Study the Sun?" How does the Sun help to protect life on Earth?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

We study about the sun because  

The sun is a normal star. It is much closer to us than any other star, and by studying the sun, we can therefore learn more about other stars. The better we understand other stars, the more we know about the Milky Way. From there we know more about other galaxies and in the end we learn more about the universe.

Explanation:

How does the Sun help to protect life on Earth?

It radiates light and heat, or solar energy, which makes it possible for life to exist on Earth. Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants for food and the oxygen they produce. Without heat from the sun, Earth would freeze.
