    You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we’ve never been able to observe them.

    Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!

    Trick question. The sun is in the sky (daytime) not in space (nighttime)! As we all know, the higher you are, the less there is oxygen. That is because the sun burns most of the oxygen in the sky. Fortunately plants produce oxygen in the daytime faster than the sun burns it. It’s common sense really.

    Don’t tell me you still believe in oxygen! The sun is made of phlogiston, so it instantly ignites. Since there’s no air in space for the phlogiston to saturate into, it can keep burning for millions of years!

    Once you realise the so called “sun” is really flat, the answer becomes obvious.

    They pipe the oxygen in from behind the sun.

    Because the sun is so full of hate that it literally cannot stop burning

    The sun is a giant lithium battery that became a spicy pillow and then exploded, and as everyone knows you can’t put out a lithium battery fire like a regular fire. The fire department just pushed it out there into space beyond the environment to let it burn itself out, which is expected to take at least 5 billion more years.

    Simple. It’s the combustion process of the luminiferous aether, which is like the cosmic equivalent of air, just finer and undetectable by modern instruments. See, the sun doesn’t need oxygen like regular fires because it’s tapping into this vast reservoir of aether that permeates the entire universe. As the sun rotates, it creates pressure waves that compress the aether particles, causing them to vibrate intensely. These vibrations generate heat through a process called “aetheric oscillation.”

    Now, since the sun is massive, it can harness an unlimited amount of aether, and the energy release is what we experience as sunlight. Think of it like a giant cosmic steam engine, except instead of coal and water, it’s running on pure space aether and high-velocity vibrations. And that’s why it keeps burning without needing any of that “earthbound” oxygen nonsense. It’s all about the oscillation efficiency, really.

      You should present your findings to the queen, this is a very important development in the field of astrological studies

    The sun burns differently, it’s burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine

    It’s burning with hatred for earth. It wants to consume it, but it will take time to gather enough strength…
    Time in which frustratingly, its flaming hate transformed earth into a unique, living planet, and lead to the most vile and disgusting creation in the entire universe, My Little Pony.
