Q: How to support the Sun against Gravitational Collapse?
A: “Hydrostatic Equilibrium”between Pressure & Gravity!

Getting to know the Solar Interior……with “Helioseismology”
…and with various other methods… e.g., Neutrinos from Core (see below…)

A lack of Sunspots… …led to the “Little Ice Age”!
Twisted-up Magnetic Fields…
…causes the “Solar Cycle”
