Why should we explore the sun?

Because the Sun is our nearest star.

Solar activity affects us on Earth (electronics and communications on the ground and satellites in orbit can be affected by solar storms).

Solar activity also affects human and robotic explorers traveling through our solar system.

The Sun is the source of most of the light and heat in our solar system.
