 Solar System
✧ Solar system was discovered by Nicolas Copernicus

The Sun
• According to NASA, the mass of the Sun is 1.989 x 10³⁰ kg.
• The Sun and the rest of the solar system formed from a
giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust called a solar nebula
about 4.6 billion years ago.
• According to NASA, the Sun is the center of our solar system
and makes up 99.8 percent of the mass of the entire solar
system.
 What is the Sun… .?
• The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It
is the largest object and contains approximately 99.8% of the
total solar system mass.
• One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across
the sun’s disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million
Earths.
• The Sun’s outer visible layer is called the photosphere and
has a temperature of 55,00⁰C (10,000⁰F). This layer has a
mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy
at the surface.
• According to NASA, the sun is a ball of gas (92.1 percent
hydrogen and 7.8 percent helium)
• The diameter of Sun is about 864,000 miles (1.392 million
km).
• According to NASA, the mean radius of the Sun is 432,168.6
miles (695,700 km).
• According to NASA, the sun’s equatorial circumference is
about 4,370,005.6 km.
• According to NASA, at the core the temperature is about 27
million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius).
• According to NASA, the temperature of the photosphere is
about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,500 degrees Celsius).
• The Sun is a man_sequence G2V star or Yellow Dwarf.
• The Sun’s volume would need 1.3 million Earths to fill it.
• According to NASA, the distance of Sun from Earth is 93
million miles (150 million km).
• The distance between the Earth and Sun is One Astronomical
Unit (AU).
• It takes 499.0 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to the
Earth.
• The Sun does not have rings.
• The Sun emits shortwave radiation because it is extremely
hot and has a lot of energy to give off.
• The inner Layers are the Core, Radiative Zone and
Convection Zone.
• The inner Layers are the Core, Radiative Zone and
Convection Zone.
• The outer Layers are the photosphere, the Chromosphere,
the Transition Region and the Corona.
• In 1605, the Johannes Kepler Announced The First Law
(Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus).
• Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust
that orbit the Sun.
• Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun.
• Equinox occurs when the sun is vertically above the equator.
• The equinox in March is called the Vernal or Spring Equinox.
• The September equinox is called the Autumnal or Fall
Equinox.
• Equinox occurs twice a year.
• The Sun shines vertically on the Equator twice a year.
• On the Equinox day, the sun move across the celestial
equator, which lie directly above the earth’s equator.
• Japan is called the land of rising sun.
• Japan has been recognized as the land of the rising sun for at
least 1400 years.

• The galactic year, also known as a cosmic year, is the
duration of time required for the sun to orbit once around
the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
