SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Our Sun is an average sized star: there are smaller stars and larger stars, even up to 100 times larger. Many other solar systems have multiple suns, while ours just has one. Our Sun is 864, 000 miles in diameter and 10, 000 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is a star. There are lots of stars in the universe, but the Sun is the closest one to Earth, and it’s the only one in our solar system. It is the center of our solar system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Medium mass stars, like our Sun, live by fusing the hydrogen within their cores into helium. This is what our Sun is doing now. The heat the Sun generates by its nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium creates an outward pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our own Sun is an example of an average star. It has a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers… today. But when our Sun nears the end of its life, it will bloat up as a red giant, and grow to 300 times its original size.

Detailed explanation-5: -Our sun is a medium star of average size and brightness. Our star, the sun, is average in terms of size and brightness. However, our star is extraordinarily important! Earth is the perfect distance from the sun. The sun provides heat and light to our planet, supporting life on Earth.
