Our Star, the Sun, whilst only a small star compared to some, is essential for life upon Earth.

Despite all of the technologies that are available to us, many questions remain. Those that have been answered include:

What is the Sun made of?

How does the Sun generate its energy?

What is the mechanism behind the Sun's magnetic field and why does it flip every 11 years?

What are sunspots and why are they dark?

All of these questions and more are answered in this guide to the turbulent ball of barely-contained energy that is our Sun.

Written in simple, straightforward language, this guide assumes that the reader has a basic scientific understanding; I hope it will be enjoyable for all regardless of their background.
