  1. Question

    So the sun is hot and burning............ then where is all the smoke and pollution going ? Also why is the smoke not visible. ?~~ Thanks

    The Sun is not burning. The Sun is a star, a million times bigger that Earth, and it generates its energy from nuclear fusion in its core. I recommend that you get an introductory book on astronomy or look at the Wikipedia entries on "star" and "sun". David Morrison
