  5. Surprisingly the sun consits of 332,900 Earth masses. The sun also emits electromagnetic radiation. That is about the only energy that is emitted by the sun.

  8. That one million earths could fit into the earth, and that it is 100 earths across. If the sun was 20,000 degrees the sun would be blue.

  9. The most interesting thing I learned is that a million Earths could fit in the sun. That means the sun is huge!!! I guess that also means that the Earth is really really tiny. Woooooow!

  14. I learned that sometimes, the Sun can be kind of an artist. During sun flares, the plasma can loop around, shoot up in geysers, explode like a bomb, etc. It's very cool to see the designs the sun flares create.

  18. I was fascinated with the Characteristics of the Sun website and the Amazing Photos of the Sun website. The pictures were just AMAZING!! I looked at them for a long time! An interesting fact I found about the Sun was about its density. The sun is made of hydrogen and helium, which are both very light elements. Even with the light elements, the Sun is denser than water, which means it would sink in water! The gravity is just that strong. Crazy.

  26. I learned that in a few million years the sun will be about 200 times bigger than what the size is now. I had no idea that the sun was continuing to get bigger!!!!
