2. The Sun
The sun is a star all plants revolve around. The sun is named after
the sun god Apollo. The Greeks thought Apollo carried the sun
across the sky is his chariot. But we know that the sun is not
drawn by a chariot. The Greek astronomers also thought theplanets
revolved around Earth. That was called the geocentric theory, but
the heliocentric theory is that the planets revolve around the sun.
Nicolaus Copernicus developed this theory. Without the sun Earth
would be a dark and dreary place to live. Food and crops would
spoil and humans would starve from hunger. This is why the sun is
important to all mankind.
