I agree. The "sun" is a poor choice of name.
As an aside, it astonishes me how much people ignore it. There you are, walking in a park, being bathed in deluge of photons, above you is this fucking star. Yeah, that's a fucking star. What you plebs casually dismiss as the "sun" ITS A FUCKING STAR ASSHOLES! Right above your fucking head. Hey guys, this is what its like to be really really fucking close to a MOTHER FUCKING STAR FOR CHRIST"S SAKE. FUCK! A STAR that's really close but at the same time so fucking far way it takes 8 minutes for its light to reach us. That's light, BRO, traveling at LIGHT SPEED! 8 fucking minutes! Yet there is the source, right there! Everyday. IN THE SKY! FUCK! Sometimes you can inadvertently catch fleeting glimpses of it through heavy cloud or fog, even then you shouldn't look. Mother fucker, it blows my mind.
I tell people this but they just look at me like I have gone off my meds. Which I did. No regrets.
