What a Sun!!!!!! Empty What a Sun!!!!!!

It is the fire of life. It can be kind but it can get angry. But it
never throws its weight around. It is the sun. And although it is
330,000 more massive than earth and contains 99.8% of the mass in our
solar system, it is small in comparison with some other stars. The
sun never cease to amaze us with its theatrics, its lava flares dancing
across its surface in a ballet of nuclear fusion, sometimes leaping
millions of miles into the air. And although the sun is big, its
intense heat and light makes it difficult to capture good images with
normal instruments. So NASA scientists use an Helioseismic and Magnetic
Imager and an Atmospheric Imaging Assembly detector to view the
ultra-violet (UV) and extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUV)
wavelengths released by the sun. The resulting images are spectacular. Full disk image of the sun. Ain’t it beautiful?! What a Sun!!!!!! Safe_image.php?d=ae3d606f2764be1d127c6437dc7456b6&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdidyouknow.org%2Ffiles%2F2010%2F04%2Fsunfulldisk
Full disk image of the sun as taken by NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory, which orbits 22,300 miles above earth. Earth in comparison to the sun Earth’s distance from the sun
varies between 91.4 million miles – in January – and 94.4 million miles
– in July. The average distance of 92,955,887.6 miles (149, 597, 870.7
kilometers) is called 1 astronomical unit (AU), a measurement that is
used to report distances to other planets and stars as well. In short,
it’s not a weekend drive. NASA puts the size of earth to the sun in perspective like this: Suppose the radius of Earth were the width of an ordinary paper clip. The radius of the sun would be roughly the height of a desk, and the sun would be about 100 paces from earth. Earth size in comparison to the sun and other planets: What a Sun!!!!!!

sun is one of billions in the entire universe. It also is fairly small
in comparison with other big stars. In fact, our sun is classified as a
G2 dwarf star. Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is twice as
massive as the sun and 25 times more luminous. And Sirius is dwarfed by
Pollux, which is eight times the radius of the sun. And Pollux is
dwarfed by Arcturus, which is almost 26 times the size of the sun. What a Sun!!!!!! Safe_image.php?d=4ab12b634bbfbdcedece922b3da4b3fb&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdidyouknow.org%2Ffiles%2F2010%2F04%2Fsunsize It’s a big, big universe But
there are bigger stars yet. When compared to Antares, our handsome sun
is a mere pixel on a map. And Antares is not even the biggest star.
That title is thought to belong to a star called VY Canus Majoris. It
is about 2,000 times the size of the sun, or more than twice the size
of Antares. Sun in comparison to Antares: What a Sun!!!!!! Safe_image.php?d=4c270f830916883441255b1fd0453809&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdidyouknow.org%2Ffiles%2F2010%2F04%2Fsuncomparison Note that it VY Canus Majoris is the biggest in size but not mass. The currently known most massive star is thought to be WR 102ka – known as Peony Nebula Star – at about 175 times the mass of the sun. How big is the universe? The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
calculated the age of the known universe at 13.7 billion years old,
based on its radius of 13.7 billion light years. And it is growing
bigger every day, at a speed of 71 km/s/Mpc.
The size of the whole universe is estimated to be 78 billion light
years. If you start traveling today at 60 miles per hour (100km/h)
you’ll get to the end of your first coffee stop, the end of one light
year, in nine trillion years.
Then you just keep going for another 77 billion light years. Or you
could stay here, look after our beautiful planet… and enjoy the sun.
