The Sun (in Greek: Helios, in Latin: Sol) is the star at the center of the Solar System and is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. It is a nearly perfect spherical ball of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. Its diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, and it has a mass about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen; the rest is mostly helium, with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on spectral class and it is informally referred to as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.567 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became increasingly hot and dense, eventually initiating nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process.
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.

The Sun was an afternoon tabloid newspaper, first published under this name in 1910. It was acquired from Associated Newspapers by Fairfax Holdings in Sydney, Australia in 1953, as the afternoon companion to The Sydney Morning Herald. The former Sunday edition, the Sunday Sun was discontinued and merged with the Sunday Herald into the tabloid Sun-Herald at the same time.
Publication of The Sun ceased on 14 March 1988. Some of its content, and sponsorship of the Sydney City to Surf footrace, was continued in The Sun-Herald.
"In the Sun" is the second single from Joseph Arthur's second studio album Come to Where I'm From, though the song had been performed during Joseph's live shows as early as 1996. The single was released in the UK and Europe on April 23, 2001 via Real World Records and Virgin Records. The original singles were very limited in production and are now out of print and hard to find. A music video was produced for the song, directed by Anton Corbijn. The video is featured on the Directors Label series DVD The Work of Director Anton Corbijn.
On February 14, 2008, Joseph Arthur and his band The Lonely Astronauts performed "In the Sun" live on the Late Show with David Letterman. (Video on YouTube)The song appears in the Scrubs episode My New God, Season 5 Episode 5.

I wanna rot in the sun
I wanna rot in the sun
I wanna rot in the sun
This is a beautiful life
Just 'cause it catches the light
Gonna let it all slide
Like butter on a warm night
This irrelevant high
This p-plentiful sky
Y-y-your hair is blond
But not the brow above your eye
I take my mouth off my foot
Give up and I feel good
Give up and I feel good
I'm gonna riot in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
Dependable star
It pumps like a heart
You cut out the core
Ignore the sweetest part
'cause it's here to impress
With perfect success
Even at it's worst
You know it burns when it's best
No protection from the glare
And I don't care, I don't care
I'm gonna riot in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
Yeeeaaah, yeeaah!
Yeeeaaah, yeeaah!
Yeeeaaah, yeeaah!
Yeeeaaah, yeeaah!
It's round and smooth
A controllable cruise
Get that match away from that fuse
'cause it might explode
And goodness knows
I don't wanna rock and tip and sink the boat
So everybody freeze, nobody sneeze
I'm stuck and stung by the summertime bees
AND WE WILL
In the sun
In the sun
In the sun
I'm gonna riot in the sun
(Riot in the sun)
(Riot in the sun)
