This book equips the reader with a coherent understanding of the
structure of the Sun and its evolution and provides all the
knowledge required to construct a simplified model of the Sun. The
early chapters cover key aspects of basic physics and describe the
Sun's size, mass, luminosity, and temperature. Using a
semi-empirical approach, the structure of the present Sun is then
modeled in detail, layer by layer, proceeding from the photosphere
to the convection zone, radiation zone, and core. Finally, all
stages of the Sun's evolution, from its formation to the end of its
life, are carefully explained. The book is primarily intended for
university students taking the initial steps in moving from physics
to astrophysics. It includes worked exercises and problems to
illustrate the concepts discussed, as well as additional problems
for independent study. With the aim of helping the reader as much
as possible, most of the mathematics required to use the book are
provided in the text.
