The Sun
The Sun
The sun is our nearest star. The sun provides us with light
and heat. It also gives out ultraviolet light which causes sun burn and may
even cause skin cancer. Without the sun there would be no day light, and our
planet would be simply dark, frozen world, with no oceans of water and no life.
Just like a human body which is made up of different systems
that work together, the sun is also made up of that function together to help
it maximize its power in the solar system.
The innermost part of the sun is called the core. Here a lot
of gasses move, churn, and react to produce energy. This energy reaches the
earth.The sun’s atmosphere is called the corona.
Often, some giant stream of gasses and particles explode
from the surface of the sun. This called a solar flare. There are also some
dark spots on the sun are called sun spots.
The sun is so bright that you shouldn’t ever look at it
directly without protecting your eyes.
Have you ever wondered where does the sun disappear at night?
Well actually it does not go anywhere. It stays where it is. It is we who
change the position. Because like every other planet the earth also revolves
around the sun. When the sun appears to be setting it is actually our side of
the earth that is rotating away from it. So we don’t see the sun, nor do we get
its light and warmth.
