The sun is a star, and it is very large and very far away. Its distance
... The sun is a star, and it is very large and very far away. Its distance from Earth is about 149 million kilometres. The light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to get here, travelling at 300,000 kilometres per second. However, despite the fact that the sun is so far away, we're going to show you a ...

Aquarius (constellation)
Aquarius is a constellation of the zodiac, situated between Capricornus and Pisces. Its name is Latin for ""water-carrier"" or ""cup-carrier"", and its symbol is 20px (Unicode ♒), a representation of water.Aquarius is one of the oldest of the recognized constellations along the zodiac (the sun's apparent path). It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century AD astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations. It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of constellations with watery associations such as Cetus the whale, Pisces the fish, and Eridanus the river.
