SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Our Sun is a medium-sized star with a radius of about 435, 000 miles (700, 000 kilometers). Many stars are much larger – but the Sun is far more massive than our home planet: it would take more than 330, 000 Earths to match the mass of the Sun, and it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun’s volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stars with masses between 0.5-8 solar masses are called average stars. Average stars, like the Sun, have three main phases, which are yellow dwarf, red giant, white dwarf.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest known star in the universe, UY Scuti is a variable hypergiant with a radius around 1, 700 times larger than the radius of the sun. To put that in perspective, the volume of almost 5 billion suns could fit inside a sphere the size of UY Scuti.
