[pdf] If the matter that it transforms into energy is neglected, the sun is an example of a closed system, which does not exchange matter with its environment, but does exchange energy (solar radiation, sunlight, heat). In an open energy system, energy can be transferred between the system and its surroundings, allowing for the continuous flow of energy in and out. In contrast, a closed energy system restricts this exchange, resulting in a fixed total energy amount that cannot enter or escape the boundaries.
