Well, first, you're asking what makes the sun hot, Nuclear Fusion is the answer. Let me explain, so even you can understand. The amount of pressure is what allows Nuclear Fusion to occur,which is the change from Hydrogen into Helium. This creates an astronomical amount of energy, which also produces heat.The sun itself is about 6,000 Kelvin.

Next, how can we feel the heat? Well, considering the three common ways heat can travel, conduction, convection, and radiation, we're going to be focused on radiation. This allows heat to travel in waves and particles. Radiation sends light (photons) through the vast vacuum of space, into the Earth's atmosphere to interact with the matter found on our planet. This light may be either absorbed or
