The Sun is in the center of our Solar System. All the planets revolve around it. The sun is made up of several types of gasses including oxygen and hydrogen. The Sun’s core can reach temperatures over 15.6 Million K (Kelvin). The sun puts out over 400 trillion trillion watts of energy at all times! The Sun is more than 110 earths wide! The Sun is a type G dwarf star. It is about 4.7 billion years old.

The Sun is actually a very small star compared to many other starts in the Universe. Our sun is 1 of tens of trillions of stars in the big picture. Many of which are much larger than ours. Far past our Solar System, there are stars larger than ours. Yet, many stars are actually close to us in proportion to how big the Universe is.

The sun puts off Solar flares from time to time. Which make our planet hotter than its temperature would normally be. Each Solar Flare is about 78 Earths wide and 120 earths long! They are normally in a shape of an ark when it gets hurled from the sun. It flies outward from the Sun at about 1,120 m/s. The flares don’t get very far be for going out because of how cold space is.
