The [1]#sun spits out its [2]#photons really far though. Yeah, I'm a fan of the Sun, and especially the one that came before the Sun - the Protostar / Protosun.* It made us, us, thanks to colliding with a massive molecular gas cloud and thanks to gravity doing what gravity do. [and electrostatic forces bringing together the little bits and pieces so that gravity could take over]. yeah... static.* Lowly ol' static electricity.* You helped the clumping get started. Awesome stuff :D[3]distance_from_sun References Visible links 1. https://plus.google.com/s/%23sun 2. https://plus.google.com/s/%23photons 3. http://icopiedyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/distance_from_sun.png
