The Different parts of the Sun • • • • • The inner core Radiative The outer core The radiative core And the corona Fun facts about the Sun • If you step on the Sun (which I highly don’t recommend doing) you will be 27 times heavier than you are here on Earth. • The Sun was formed from a HUGE cloud. • In approximately 5 billion yrs. The Sun will become a red giant. Did you know? • Did you know that the Suns atmosphere is made of 3 different parts: photospheres, chromospheres and a solar corona. Did you know that solar flares can occur when magnetic fields from the Sun come together and cause HUGE explosions on the Suns surface. Interesting facts • The dwarf planet Pluto is sometimes 3.4 billion miles away from the Sun. • Without the Sun there would be no animals and even us. • The Sun used to be a cloud until gravity squeezed it so tightly that it became a hot star. • More data facts about the Sun • The Suns mass is 2 x 1003. • The Suns volume is 1.41 x 1033cm squared. • The Sun has the biggest mass in our solar system. Cool facts about the Sun • The energy from the Sun travels outward. • The Sun is the only star in our solar system. • The Sun takes about 25 days to do a full rotation and the Earth takes 24 hours WOW!
