Our planet earth is very lucky to have the sun, the center of the solar system at the right distance. Had we been too near to the sun we would have been burned. No life would have been possible. Had we been far away then also life would not have been possible.

The sun was worshipped as God in olden days for he is the giver of light and life. The energy we get from the sun is called solar energy.
