  1. The Sunhttp://stardate.org/images/gallery/sun5.jpg

  2. Round and Round(www.windows.ucar.edu/.../ seasons_orbit.5x7.jpg) • The Sun is the center of our solar system. • The Earth’s movement around the Sun is called it’s orbit • It takes one year to complete an entire orbit around the Sun. • During Earth’s orbit we experience changes in climate called “Seasons”.

  3. Super Size Me!(eearthk.com/website/ images/earth/E20.jpg) • The Sun is approximately 1.4 million kilometers (870,000 miles) in diameter. • Meaning that 109 earth’s could fit across its middle. • The Sun’s interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths (Wow!!) • Our sun is a mid size star, there are some stars larger and smaller than it

  4. Hot and Hotter(www.nasa.gov/.../161863main_ hinode_sun_516.jpg) • The outer visible layer called photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). • The inner layers reach temperatures of 15,000,000° C; (27,000,000° F).

  5. What are you made of?(www.adlerplanetarium.org/. ../convection02.jpg)lower left pic (www.space.gc.ca/asc/ img/sts-097_kidstation_pr..) • Outer glare,or glow is called the Corona • The Chromosphere is the layer only observable during eclipses (lower left) • Outer visible layer called Photosphere • Below Photosphere is Convection zone • Below Convection zone is the Radiation zone • Center is called the core

  6. What's My Age Again?(www.cnn.com/.../ images/sun.earth.lrg.jpg) • Our Sun is about middle age for a star of its type, which means it is about 4.6 billion years old. It is estimated that the Sun will be around for about another 5 billion years.

  9. The SUNDIAL!!(www.londonphoto.me.uk/ inside/sundial.jpg) • ST KATHARINES DOCK DIAL • This is a large equinoctial sundial in the form of a massive, 3.66 meters, stainless steel ring supported by three rigid chain link cables. The dial was designed by Wendy Taylor in 1973 and delineated by Christopher St J Daniels (http://www.sundials.co.uk/~london.htm)

  10. Parts of the Sundial (.gif) http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/projects/sundials/images/sundial_basic

  11. Lets do an Activity ! • Things to think about. • Are Sundials precision instruments for measuring time? Why or Why not? • Are Sundials useful during all types of weather?
