How are heat and light produced by the sun?
The sun is essentially a nuclear reaction. Hydrogen nuclei are combined through nuclear fusion which releases a large amount of energy.
Because of the sun's extremely high temperature, fusion requires very high kinetic energies to overcome the nuclei's electrostatic repulsion. The binding energy of the resultant nucleus (Helium nuclei) is greater than the initial binding energy of the combining nuclei (Hydrogen nuclei). As a result, energy is released in the form of heat and light.

The sun produces heat and light through nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of photons.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
