Sun

"The Sun itself is a Stand!!"

- Joseph, Chapter 166

Sun (サン（太陽）), is the Stand of Arabia Fats, featured in Stardust Crusaders.

Appearance
Sun, appearing as a fiery sphere of molten material, is literally a small replica of a sun. It continuously hovers at around 100 meters from the ground.

It represents the Card. However, its abilities correspond more with the physical heat and energy of the Sun itself, rather than the optimism the card represents.

Befitting its name, Sun is generally portrayed in media as a bright yellow.

Abilities
Sun is an amazingly powerful Stand with a wide range of action. However, it cannot lower its altitude thus preventing it from directly protecting its user, who must stay nearby and hide himself.

Sun Replica
Sun's foremost power is to emit light and heat at lethal levels over a large area.

Not only does Sun shine bright enough to give the impression of being in the middle of a bright day despite the time showing that it's nighttime and even it also raises the surrounding temperatures up to 80 °C (176 °F), burning plants and causing heat stroke to large animals. Moreover, it can maintain that level of power over a long period, as Arabia Fats was willing to stalk the Joestar group and let them die from the heat of Sun.

On the other hand, Arabia must also take precaution to not be affected by his own Stand.

Plasma Blast
In addition to its radiating of heat, Sun is also able to shoot bits of plasma from its churning body in the form of energy beams.

When threatened, it will shoot rays in all directions but can also strike with precision, destroying a pair of binoculars in Joseph Joestar's hands. They can pierce through flesh and melt solid rock, but Silver Chariot's sword is able to deflect them.
