Life on our planet would not exist without it.
B
I wouldn’t be able to get a sun tan.
C
I would have to wear a winter coat all the time
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sun has extremely important influences on our planet: It drives weather, ocean currents, seasons, and climate, and makes plant life possible through photosynthesis. Without the sun’s heat and light, life on Earth would not exist.

Detailed explanation-2: -Without the Sun’s heat and light, the Earth would be a lifeless ball of ice-coated rock. The Sun warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sun is the only star in our solar system and is present at the centre of all the planets. All eight planets revolve around the sun. The sun is known as a gaseous ball as it is made up of different gases. It is a massive ball of gases but looks very small from the earth because of its distance.

Detailed explanation-4: -With no sunlight, photosynthesis would stop, but that would only kill some of the plants-there are some larger trees that can survive for decades without it. Within a few days, however, the temperatures would begin to drop, and any humans left on the planet’s surface would die soon after.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sun is the nearest star which is the main source of heat and light for all the planets. The planets do not emit light from their own like stars. They reflect the sunlight that fall on them.

Detailed explanation-6: -Without the Sun’s rays, all photosynthesis on Earth would stop. All plants would die and, eventually, all animals that rely on plants for food-including humans-would die, too.
