this is a sun vs that is a sun

Both options are grammatically correct, but the choice between 'this' and 'that' depends on the proximity of the sun to the speaker. 'This is a sun' is used when a sun is close to the speaker, while 'that is a sun' is used when it is far away.

this is a sun

This phrase is correct and can be used when referring to a sun that is close to the speaker.

Use 'this is a sun' when the sun is near the speaker, allowing for a more immediate and personal connection to the object.

Examples:

  • This is a sun that warms my skin every morning.
  • This is a sun that shines brightly in the sky.
  • This is a sun that brings light to our world.

Use 'that is a sun' when the sun is distant from the speaker, creating a sense of separation or detachment from the object.

Examples:

  • That is a sun shining in the sky over there.
  • That is a sun that we can see from a distance.
