1. Main Source of Energy
The sun is the main energy generator for the Solar System.
The energy it produces comes from nuclear reactions in its core, where hydrogen atoms turn into helium in a process known as “nuclear fusion”.
This energy then produces the light and heat that create the conditions that support life on Earth.
2. Awesome Size
The sun is about 1.4 million kilometers in diameter, about 109 times the diameter of Earth.
If the Earth were a golf ball, the Sun would be about 15 meters across! Nevertheless.
The sun is not the biggest star in the universe.
3. Different Turnover
Another interesting fact is that the Sun does not rotate uniformly.
The parts at the equator rotate faster than the parts at the poles.
This is caused by the phenomenon of convection inside the Sun which produces a complicated magnetic field.
