Description This is a major revision of my first attempt at a sunlike star.

The sun, a main sequence yellow dwarf star, is the star at the center of our solar system. All other matter in the solar system orbits the sun. The sun alone accounts for 99.8 percent of the solar systems mass! The sun is comprised of approximately 74 percent hydrogen and 25 percent helium with the remaining balance made up of other trace elements.

Comments and crits appreciated!

Thanks again! I'm glad you like it. All pictures of the sun are taken through filters that can affect the color of the sun in pictures. When I was working on my closeup of the Sun I used several NASA images as a reference. Some were yellow or yellow white, and some were orange. I set the color of the picture in the middle of these. That said, I may adjust it to make it more yellow. I toyed with this earlier but that caused the surface texture to be really hard to see.

Now that's clean art Although I spot a common mistake, for the sun is actually green-yellow and not orange!

Nice work!

The flames coming out seem a little bit too soft, as if they need a bit more detailing. But that's just a minor thing. Very nice!!
