Sun

The Narnian sun was a large, bright object in the Narnian sky. It existed for nearly all of the time that Narnia existed.

Composition
Little is known about the sun's composition, although it was not entirely gaseous as its surface had formed mountains and valleys. Fire-Flowers and fire-berries grew on the surface, and these had magical properties. Fire-Flowers were used to make Lucy's Cordial and fire-berries could make a star younger. The area around the sun was suitable for birds to fly in, since fire-berries were harvested by them on a regular basis.

Unlike Earth's sun, the Narnian sun was not a star. Stars were sentient beings but the sun was not a living organism. The colour of the sun behaved in a similar way to Earth and Charn's suns. For most of its life, the sun was yellow but towards the end of its life, it grew larger and redder.

History
The sun was created at the beginning of Narnia by Aslan singing his most magnificent and glorious sound at the time. The sky changed from black to grey to white to pink to gold as the sun was created. It then rose in the east. The stars and landscape of Narnia had already existed at the time.

As the sun rose, it appeared younger than Earth's sun. Narnia's sun gave the impression that it could laugh for joy as it came up.

At the end of the world, the sun rose for the last time with a dark red colour and a 20-fold increase in size. It then coalesced with the moon to form a larger ball like burning coal. This state was unstable as lumps of sun began to fall down to Earth. The heat of these lumps caused steam to rise from the sea as the lumps landed.

The sun was then destroyed by Father Time, on the orders of Aslan. Father Time destroyed it by squeezing the sun in his hand in a similar way to how an orange could be squeezed. This instantly caused the world to turn completely cold and completely dark. The world ended soon after.

Expressions
The sun is mentioned in a Calormene expression, "every morning the sun is darkened in my eyes" that is used to show an ongoing, important frustration.
