At night, the Sun does not go anywhere. Day or night, it stays put at the center of the solar system where it has always been, and will be for the next few billion years. What makes the Sun seemingly disappear at night is the Earth’s rotation or turning motion. While the Sun continuously shines […]

The Sun belongs to the solar system. This is the reason why humans have constantly endeavored to find out more about the star that supplies the Earth with the heat and light it needs. Many discoveries have already been made particularly the features of this average- sized star: its parts, surface, temperature, and probably how

Just like a human body which is made up of different systems that work together, the Sun is also made up of parts that function together to help it maximize its power in the Solar System. The Sun, as one of the heavenly bodies, has different identifiable parts. These parts perform a specific function to

When asked of the hottest thing that could burn melt and burn all things on earth, a quick response would be the solar systems very own Sun. The Sun is made up of different gases such as hydrogen and helium. Different areas of the Sun have varying degrees of hotness. Would you believe that what

What is it like to go into the surface of the Sun? No one has been able to reach or go near the Sun mainly because of tremendous heat it releases and particularly because it is a star but researchers have found out some interesting facts about the Sun’s surface. Unlike Earth, the surface of

Does anybody know when was the Sun discovered? The Sun has always been there in our solar system, giving warmth, light and life to Earth. Ancient people have depended on it for a long, long time. They have worshipped it, gave it a name and sacrificed for it. Even before there were people, the Sun

The solar system is a group of celestial bodies orbiting around the dwarf star called the Sun. The main members of the solar system are eight major planets, and their satellites. Other interesting members are comets, meteors and meteorites and dwarf planets. The order of the planets from the Sun from nearest to the farthest

Does anybody know the first person who discovered the Sun? It is such a hard question because if one will think about it, the Sun is one of the reasons there are living organisms on our planet. So most probably it has always been there even before life itself. People, who lived in ancient times,

The Sun is one big nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclear fusion, where nuclei of atoms combine to form more massive nuclei along with a tremendous release of neutrinos and energy, has powered the sun since time immemorial. Fusion reactions occur in the Sun’s core, which is kept in a gaseous state due to its temperature of

Nobody knows for sure how the Sun was formed. Scientists estimate the age of the Sun to be about one hundred to two hundred billion years old- about 80 billion years before the Earth was formed. Scientists believed that an enormous amount of gases formed into a big ball which later created a star. In
