Potential energy and position
The potential energy between two objects due to long-distance forces can be thought of as being stored in a field. When the objects move due to the field forces, the energy stored in the field decreases

This YouTube video investigates the structure and composition of the sun.
These four short online lessons cover the following:
This online resource investigates the internal structure, outer layers and surface features of the sun.
Energy is a quantitative property of a system that depends on the motion and interactions of matter and radiation within that system. That there is a single quantity called energy is due to the fact that a system’s total energy is conserved, even as, within the system, energy is continually transferred from one object to another and between its various possible forms.
