118 - What is the role of the sun in the solar system?

The sun is like the heart of our solar system. Its main role is to:

1. Give light and warmth to the planets, making life on Earth possible.
2. Provide energy to the planets, which helps them move and stay in orbit.
3. Keep the planets in their paths, using its gravity to hold everything together.

Think of the sun as the central control, allowing the planets to orbit and life to exist. Without the sun, our solar system wouldn't be the same.
