The Sun is the central star of the entire solar system. It is also the brightest and closest star to Earth that is visible to the naked eye. If it were not for the Sun, life on our planet would probably no longer exist. It's what makes it so hot during the summer! Choose the picture that catches your eye the most and color it as you like!

Information
- Physical characteristics: The Sun is a giant ball of hot gas about 1.4 million kilometers in diameter. It is much larger than Earth and has a mass about 330,000 times that of our planet.
- Light and heat: The sun is the source of light and heat for our solar system. It emits huge amounts of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible, infrared and ultraviolet light.
- Nuclear reactions: The Sun's energy comes from nuclear reactions in its nucleus. This process, called nuclear fusion, involves the fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium and release huge amounts of energy.
- Activity cycle: The sun goes through an activity cycle of about 11 years. At the time of maximum activity, there are stronger solar flares and an increased number of sunspots on the surface.
- Sunspots: Sunspots are areas on the surface of the Sun that are cooler and darker than the surrounding area. They are the result of an intense magnetic field.
- Impact on Earth: The sun has a huge impact on our planet. Its radiation is a source of light and heat, enabling life to exist. However, strong solar flares can affect satellite communications, power grids and other technological systems on Earth.
- Life on Earth: The sun plays a key role in the process of photosynthesis, through which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, providing food and oxygen for life on Earth.
- Distance from Earth: The average distance between the Sun and Earth is about 149.6 million kilometers. This distance is called the astronomical unit (AU).
- Death and evolution: The Sun is currently in the main sequence phase, but in the future it will undergo further stages of evolution, including a red giant state and a supernova explosion.
- Solar research: Scientists are observing and studying the Sun with space and ground-based telescopes to better understand its structure, operation and impact on our planet and the cosmos.
Trivia
- Size and weight: The sun is huge! In fact, you could fit more than a million Earths inside it. Its mass is about 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system.
- Light radiation: The energy generated by nuclear reactions in the Sun's nucleus travels toward the Sun's surface and is emitted as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation reaches the Earth and makes life possible.
- Radiation travel time: The light radiation produced in the Sun's core takes about 100,000 years to reach its surface! This phenomenon is due to the density of matter inside the star.
- Solar wind: The Sun ejects streams of particles outward as a result of nuclear processes. This stream of particles is called the solar wind and affects the environment of the entire solar system.
- Sunspots: Sunspots are areas on the surface of the Sun that are cooler than the surrounding areas. This phenomenon is associated with an intense magnetic field.
- Activity cycle: The sun's cycle of activity, known as the solar cycle, lasts about 11 years. During this time, there is an increase and decrease in the number of sunspots and the intensity of solar flares.
- Sunrise: As a result of nuclear reactions, the Sun loses about 4 million tons of mass per second. That may seem like a small amount, but on a time scale it's a huge loss of mass.
- The constancy of the sun: Although the Sun appears to be a constant glow and warmth, it is actually in a state of constant motion and change. However, these changes are hardly noticeable in the short term.
- Ultraviolet radiation: The sun also emits ultraviolet radiation, which is harmful to life on Earth. Luckily, our atmosphere absorbs most of the harmful UV rays, protecting us.
- Enormous energy: Every second the sun produces a huge amount of energy. That's as much as it could power our planet for hundreds of thousands of years. This energy is the result of huge nuclear reactions in the nucleus.
