The sun

The Sun       * The sun's energy comes from nuclear reactions that occur deep in side it.
*  The sun has solar flares.
*  Corona is a glow that is made up of gas and then shines around the sun.
*  The sun has a color pattern, the order of the color pattern goes blue, white, yellow, orange, then last but not least red, red's the last color the lower the color cooler the surface is, higher of color hotter the surface.
* The sun is the star at the center of the solar system.
*  Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface, the photosphere, associated with strong local magnetic activity.
*The sunspots, which are about 4,500 degrees k, only look dark because of the contrast with the surrounding surface, which is about 6,000 degrees k.
*  The core of the sun is the source of all the sun's energy.
*  The sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000 Celsius [11,000 Fahrenheit].
*All the plants in the world need the light and heat to grow and the sun does that.
*  The scientist estimate the sun to be 4.6 billion years old.
*  When the earth is closest to the sun each year it is still 91 million miles away.
*  When the sun is farthest away each year [as in winter] it is 94.5 million miles away.
*  The sun's temperature is 15.6 million degrees at it's core.
*  All the planets in the solar system orbit the sun.
*  The sun is a star not a planet.
*  Some people use solar energy that comes from the sun's rays to replace other sources of energy for heat and fuel.
*  The surface of the sun is called the photosphere and the layer above it is called chromosphere.
*  The sun is the largest object in our solar system.
*  Spectacular loops and prominences are often visible on the sun's limb.
*  Since the formation of the solar system the sun's output has increased by about 40%.
