Paper Summary:

This paper examines the nature of the sun, the nature of light and how they are connected. The author points out that the connection lies in nuclear fusion, the process in the core of the sun by which incredible amounts of energy are produced during the fusion of hydrogen into helium. The paper relates that this energy exists across the EM spectrum, some of which is visible light.

From the Paper:

"The process by which the sun produces visible light is truly one of the most awe-inspiring processes in the universe and is directly responsible for all life on this planet. Light itself is a form of electromagnetic radiation that the sun produces through the principle of incandescence - essentially because it's very hot (Introduction to light, 2003). But of course, the production of light is a much more complex process than just because it heats up. The process by which the sun produces light is connected to nuclear fusion and Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2."
