Example:
Imagine trying to keep a large family warm during a chilly winter night. Just like how a fireplace in the center of a room radiates heat to everyone gathered around it, the sun serves as a massive, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, radiating warmth and light to the planets orbiting it. The fireplace is to your family as the sun is to the solar system, with both acting as central sources of heat and energy that sustain life and activity.

Sun: A huge ball of very hot gases at the center of our solar system, it is a star. The Sun is a massive star that provides light and heat to Earth.
