  1. THE SUN, YOUR HEAT AND ENERGY PROVIDER BY: STEPHEN SHUMAR April 3, 2012

  2. OUT OF THIS WORLD FACTS ABOUT THE SUN • The sun was discovered in ancient times • The sun’s date of discovery is unknown • The sun’s mean radius is 6.9551 x 10⁵km • The sun’s mean circumference is 4.37001 x 10⁶km • The sun’s volume is 1.40927 x 10⁸km³

  3. HOT FACTS ABOUT THE SUN 6.The sun’s mass is 1.989 x 10³⁰kg 7.The sun’s surface area is 6.07877 x 10² 8.The sun’s surface gravity is 2.740 x 10²m/s² 9.The sun’s sidereal rotation period is 609.12 hours 10. The sun is about 4.6 billion years old 11. The sun is about 10,000⁰F

  4. SUNNY FACTS ABOUT THE SUN • 12. The sun’s radius is 109 times bigger than Earth’s • 13. When the sun reaches about 5 billion years of age it will start to get bigger and bigger, then smaller and smaller and possibly die out • 14. There Is no surface to the sun, it is just a big ball of many gases that keeps getting denser and denser • 15. The sun’s composition is 92% hydrogen and 7.8% helium

  5. SOLAR FLARES • The sun’s solar flares are nuclear • The solar flares that come from the sun are 10,000°C

  6. HOW THE SUN WAS CREATED • THE SUN USED TO BE A HUGE CLOUD UNTIL THE GRAVITY AROUD IT SQUEEZED IT INTO A HUGE HOT AND GASSY STAR!!!

  7. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF OUR SUN DIED OUT? • Well we would have to live in the ocean in submarines, but we would have to live in a spot where the ocean is warm so we don’t die of coldness, or we would have to move to Iceland. Or we could keep harnessing volcanic heat to survive for hundreds of more years. All the animals would die out pretty quickly, the same with plants other than large trees, those large trees live for many more decades, thanks to slow metabolism

  8. THE END, or is it
