The document summarizes information about the sun from science chapters 9 and 10. It describes the sun as a ball of glowing gases mainly made of hydrogen and helium with a diameter 100 times that of Earth. The sun's mass is 330,000 times that of Earth. The document discusses sunspots, prominences, and solar flares on the sun's surface that can impact Earth's weather and communications. It explains that the intense heat at the sun's core, reaching 15 million degrees Celsius, causes nuclear fusion reactions that fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy that the sun emits as heat and light.

BAB 9 9.1 THE SUN
The sun is a ball of glowing gases consisting of mainly hydrogen and helium .. It has a diameter of about 1400 000 km or 100 times the Earths diameter..
The mass of the sun is about 330 000 times the mass of the earth..
STRUCTURE OF THE SUN
PHENOMENA OF THE SURFACE OF THE SUN
Sunspot ,prominences and solar flares on the suns surface often change the earths weather and produce communication problems on the earth . Charged particles and electromagnetic waves released from the sun cause disturbances to the transmission of radio and television . They also disrupt long distances communication..
GENERATION OF ENERGY BY THE SUN..
In the core of the sun the temperature is about 15 000 000*c and the intense heat causes nuclear reaction to occur . In a nuclear reaction four hydrogen atoms fuse to form a helium atom . This process is called nuclear fusion . The nuclear reaction produce a large amount of energy which the sun gives out in all directions as heat and light ..
