Oh, I do dislike that attitude. "The sun is just a big ball of gas."

Dude. That "big, ball of gas" "just" spontaneously ignited due to gravitational forces and supports life on this planet. That's fucking wild. It's way more cool that it's simple. You try squeezing air hard enough to make it explode.

Also, it's a big ball of plasma, which means that it's so hot inside that the heat literally tears atoms apart.
