What interests me
The sun is an amazing thing in our sky, there are many
things that I find interesting about the sun. If you look
at the sun to me it looks like it has crystals in it, and
think about it when it is a beautiful bright sunny day
the sun is what is making it such a nice day. I also know
that the sun is a star really the sun is a beautiful star in
space.
The sun is a star
The sun is in the center of the solar system, it formed
4.6 billion years ago, the sun is a star but by know
means the biggest. There are billions of stars in space
the sun is just one of many, the sun travels around the
world in a 24 hour cycle giving the light every 24 hours.
The Sun is a big ball of gas
Did you know that the sun is a big ball of gas?
The sun is %70 hydrogen and %30 helium in the
core of the sun it converts hydrogen to helium.
What is hydrogen and helium? Well hydrogen is
the smallest atom in the sun and then comes
helium. Helium is the gas that you put into the
balloon to make it float up into the sky.
How hot is the sun?
The sun is not the hottest star in space, but that
is not to say that it is not hot believe me. On the
out side of the sun it is 5,800 degrees Kelvin and
the core of the sun {middle} is 1 000 000
degrees Kelvin. Kelvin is a way of measuring
temp. Zero degrees Kelvin is equal to -273
degrees Celsius.
