What are 8 facts about the sun?
473625
1. the surface is colder than the atmoshpere.\n2. it is about 1/2 of the way through its life span.\n3. its size is such that it could explode as a nova, or just collapse into a white dwarf.\n4. sun spots produce alot of electrical activity, and are a cause of solar flares.\n5. The sun is relatively small compared to most other stars.\n6. The outside of the sun (corona) reaches tempuratures of 27,000,000 degrees fahrenheit.\ni cant seem to scratch my brain for anything more.\nmight i suggest google.com?

The core temperature of the sun is:\n15,600,000 K.\n\n[Just for information: Surface temperature is: 5800 K]

The sun is a star.  All stars eventually burn out.  See facts below:\n\nThe Sun will last about 5 billion years as it is now, a so called Main Sequence Star, and burns 700 billion tonnes a second. This may look like a lot but the Sun actually burns Hydrogen, a gas, and it turns it into Helium, another gas. This happens in the central part of the Sun, its Core, through a process called nuclear fusion. A side effect of fusion is that light and heat are created. So only a small amount of this Hydrogen, only a few Billion tonnes a second, is actually burned off to create light. I would not worry that so much Hydrogen is burnt every second as the sun has a mass of 1.989 times 1030Kg. That is 1,989,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kg, or one million nine thousand, eight hundred and nine billion, billion, billion Kg. So the odd few Billion tonnes will not be missed. \n\nWhat is really interesting is what happens after the Hydrogen has been used up in the Suns core. At this point in our Sun's life the central part of the Sun, its core, shrinks and heats up and its atmosphere will expand to cover the Earth, and possibly Mars. The Sun is now called a Red Giant Star. If you can find the constellation Orion, the bright red star in the upper left hand corner is a Red Giant called Betelgeuse. After only a few million years the core will shrink again and the our Suns atmosphere will be blown off into space to become Planetary Nebulae. What will be left is a type of Star called a White Dwarf. This will last for many tens of billions of years, slowly cooling and getting dimmer. So, our star, the Sun, will last for 5 Billion years as it is, a few million years as a Red Giant, and finally tens of Billions of Years as a White Dwarf.

8.8 AU....or 868 million miles from the sun.

It rotates and revolves, just like the planets. It rotates in the same direction as the earth (counter-clockwise), and completes a rotation about once a month. (Because the sun is gaseous, its equator and poles rotate at different speeds.) Galileo discovered that the sun rotates from watching the movement of sunspots. Meanwhile, the sun revolves around the center of the galaxy, in much the same way that the earth revolves around the sun.

I think - not sure just think- the sun is much bigger?!!!!\n\nand it is made of gas, helium! \nandddd it's so hot!

The Sun is the closest star to Earth.\nThe sun is a huge mass of hot glowing gas.\nAt its visible surface the heat is over 5500*C  i.e. 10,000*F.\nInside calculations showed that its temperature is about 15 million degree C.  i.e. about 27 million degree F.

Depending on its position in the oval orbit it has around the sun, the earth gets sunlight 8.317 minutes after it is emitted from the sun.

Astronomy:The life of Stars. You can get some awesome pictures for that and there is plenty to write about, like (i am not completely sure about this number)did u know that light takes almost 250,000 years to travel from the center of our sun to the surface.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star

THe SUN IS NOT BURNING. IT IS MADE UP OF MILLION OF STARS SO IT DOES NOT NEED TO BURN.
