The sun is the largest, most powerful, most important, and most radiant object in our solar system. The interior of the Sun can fit 1.3 million Earths. Holy Cow. The pressure of the Sun is 340 billion times the Earths air pressure at sea level. The Sun is also the oldest known object in our Solar System at 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to last for the next 5 billion years. The photosphere is the surface of the Sun that has a temperature of 5800 K while the dark spots on the sun, or "cool spots," are around 3800 K. Without the Sun, the Earth would be destroyed . The sun is what keeps the Earth from being a giant ice ball, lying in the middle of our universe |
