Explanation

In D, 'fraction of it' refers to 'about 4.5 billion years' in 1. 'And while it provides us…can also be dangerous' in B links it with D providing contrary statement to 'around to enjoy'. E follows B because it explains why sun can be dangerous. 'That's a lot of heat' in C refers to '10 million degrees Fahrenheit' in E. 6 explains what damage the sun can cause as mentioned in C.
