Who’s Got The Power?

Helios does! Nuclear-gravity-crunching-business billion years of pure power.

H1 (Hydrogen) + H1 (Hydrogen) becomes He2 (Helium)*; “simply” by crushing them – it is called fusion.

Our Sun is a medium-sized star with a radius of about 435,000 miles (700,000 kilometers). Many stars are much larger – but the Sun is far more massive than our home planet: it would take more than 330,000 Earths to match the mass of the Sun, and it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun’s volume.

* The periodic table is actually a Russian invention originally formulated by the chemist Dmitri Mendeleev – Дмитрий Менделеев. But, hey, let’s ban that as well, alongside; literature, paintings, architecture, space flight, classical music and ballet… that will surely progress the human endeavour nicely; at a steady pace.
