The Sun

You may already know that the Sun is the largest body in the Solar System. What function does it serve in the Solar System? Is it even important? How do you think it impacts life on Earth? How do you think the Solar System would be different without the Sun?

Post your responses to these questions in the discussions area. Then, return to the topic several times over the next few days to read your coursemates’ posts. Reply to at least two of them, making sure to ask questions and encourage further conversation.
