The+Sun

The Sun The main things I researched about the sun are how much mass it takes up is our solar system, how far away it is, and what it is made of.

Size and mass of The Sun The distance of The Sun, from Earth Layers Of The Sun (and their temps.)
 * The sun takes up 99.85% of the solar system. The 0.15% is the nine planets including the Earth, 158 known moons, and countless other things like commets, metorites etc.
 * The Solar System is huge. There are no physical boundaries in space. The things that make up the Solar System are The Sun 99.85%, Planets 0.135%, Commets 0.012%, Satellites 0.001%, Metorites 0.001%, Minor Planets 0.001%.
 * The "weight" of the sun is 1,988,920,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms. (1.98892x10 Or 4,384,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds.
 * It has a diameter of about 1,392,000 kilometers. Or 864948.699 miles.[[image:http://global-warming.accuweather.com/Sun_Earth-thumb.jpg width="244" height="237" align="right"]]
 * The Sun has a radius 100 times that of the Earth which means that about 1 million Earths would fit into The Sun.
 * The Sun is about 150million kilometers or (93million miles) from Earth.
 * When The Earth is farthest from The Sun, which is around the first week of July the distance between them is 152million kilometers or (94.4million miles). When this happens it is called (Aphelion)
 * When The Earth is closest to The Sun, which is around the first week of January the distance is about 147million kilometers, or (91.3million miles). When this happens it is called (Perinlion)
 * Although The Earth is closer to The Sun during summer in the Southern Hemisphere, The temp. is warmer in The Northern Hemisphere.
 * This is mainly do to th e land mass areas in the North. Land heats up faster than water.
 * The South hemisphere is mostly Oceans.
 * There is 17.6 football fields in one mile, so if The distance from Earth to The Sun is 150million kilometers, or 93million miles how many football fields away is The Sun from Earth?
 * 17.6x93,000,000=1,636,800,000 football fields away.
 * The distance around The Earth, or The (circumference) is 24,901.55 miles. The Sun is 93million miles away, how many times around The Earth would I have to travel to equal the distance from The Sun.
 * I need to divide 24,901.55 into 93million. I have to travel around The Earth 3,734.7 times.
 * There are four main layers of The Sun. The Core, the Photosphere, the Chromosphere, and the Corona.
 * There are five other layers which are the Radioactive Zone, the Convective Zone, the Sun Spot, the Granules, and the Prominence.
 * All together there are nine layers.
 * The whole Sun is made up of gasses that fuse with each other and give off huge amounts of energy, in other words it gives off the sun light we see and feel.
 * The Core is made with carbon and oxygen. The Photosphere is made with hydrogen and helium. The Chromosphere is made with carbon and hydrogen. And the Corona is is also made hydrogen and helium.
 * The Corona is the outer layer of the Sun, it is 4,000*c. The temp of The Chromosphere layer is 6,000* to 6,400*c. The Photosphere layer is close to the same temp as the Chromosphere layer, its about 6,200* to 6,600*c. The Core which is the center of the Sun and also the hottest layer is about 15,000,000*c.
