The Sun is the star, located in the center of our Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with an internal convective motion that produces a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.
How big is the Sun compared to Earth?
- Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometers, i.e. 109 times bigger than our planet;
- Its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth
Mysterious and enormous, the Sun attracts our attention and inspires us at the times, when we are looking for the light…
