They just under 6 pixels across and the Sun is pixels across about times larger. Diameter: 1,, kilometres Circumference: 4,, kilometres Mass: 1. Diameter: 12, kilometres Circumference: 40, kilometres Mass: 5. I love this kind of stuff. This is the first website I went to for a homework assignment I had to do. I had to look up facts about Venus and present it to the class and this website gave me more than what I actually needed XD. So yeah.. Oh hey, do you play Clash of Clans?
If you do, dude please join this clan called Warriors and we might get to meet in my clan. Ok I am going to go now because my hands are starting to hurt. See ya. This is awesome! Trying to visualize the distances from the sun, visiting all the planets my son and I measured out to exact scale in a straight line. We walked over a mile and a half to get to Pluto! The sun was a soccer ball! I call it the DOT Book. I cover historical timelines by reducing a year to a DOT,…. I am trying to explain the vastness of space to my kids, and this helps thanks.
Like David I have tried to demonstrate scale using fruit and beach balls, however I do not think you could fit 1. Yes, 1. So, most likely you would have to try to find something that would be small enough to work with, but also large enough that if they hold one in their hand, they would feel like they are actually holding something, not just a speck of dust or something like a grain of sand.
I guess you could start with a BB, representing the earth, then show how many of those would make up either Saturn or Jupiter. Then from there, have them imagine how many Saturns or Jupiters would make up a Sun. Just an idea, hopefully that will help. One would need to explode billion tons of dynamite every second to match the energy produced by the sun, according to NASA. The sun is one of more than billion stars in the Milky Way.
It orbits some 25, light-years from the galactic core, completing a revolution once every million years or so. The sun is relatively young, part of a generation of stars known as Population I, which are relatively rich in elements heavier than helium. An older generation of stars is called Population II, and an earlier generation of Population III may have existed, although no members of this generation are known yet.
Related: How hot is the sun? The sun was born about 4. Many scientists think the sun and the rest of the solar system formed from a giant, rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. As the nebula collapsed because of its gravity, it spun faster and flattened into a disk. Most of the material was pulled toward the center to form the sun. Related: How was the sun formed? The sun has enough nuclear fuel to stay much as it is now for another 5 billion years.
After that, it will swell to become a red giant. Eventually, it will shed its outer layers, and the remaining core will collapse to become a white dwarf. Slowly, the white dwarf will fade, and will enter its final phase as a dim, cool theoretical object sometimes known as a black dwarf. Related: When will the sun die? The sun and the atmosphere of the sun are divided into several zones and layers. The solar interior, from the inside out, is made up of the core, radiative zone and the convective zone.
The solar atmosphere above that consists of the photosphere, chromosphere, a transition region and the corona. Beyond that is the solar wind , an outflow of gas from the corona. The core extends from the sun's center to about a quarter of the way to its surface. Light from the core gets scattered in this zone, so that a single photon often may take a million years to pass through.
Roiling "convection cells" of gas dominate this zone. Two main kinds of solar convection cells exist — granulation cells about miles 1, kilometers wide and supergranulation cells about 20, miles 30, km in diameter.
With a radius of , Great job, superstars! Do you know the answer? Nasa also shared an incredible picture of Earth taken from space with their post about the Sun. Share Via. By Trisha Sengupta.
