An Overview of the Sun

The Sun is the center of our solar system, the force of gravity that holds everything together. Here is a summary of the source of our existence.An SunThe overview of the Sun is a star, one of the billions in the known universe. It 'similar to other stars you see in the night sky, but occupies an important place in our lives because we are in agreement in 365 days. The key process in the formation of the Sun goes on this day. There are about 4.5 billion years, a huge cloud of gas and surrounded by the dust began to collapse.

If a small percentage has won the density, which launched a little 'seriousness. Over time, she sucked the residual gas and dust in an increasingly smaller. Nobody knows what triggered the movement of gravity in the first place, but it was a supernova. If the material is compressed on disk, has created more than gravity and sucked into another material. With effect due to the heat of the disc. Add a little 'of helium and trace elements, and you have a boiler that was eventually our Sun The actual process is called nuclear fusion that powers our sun.

The merger is fueled by elements of the sun to create what is essentially a ball of plasma. The atomic elements that act as fuel for this process are atoms of hydrogen and helium. Hydrogen represents about 74 percent of the mass of helium Sun is about 24 percent. The remaining one percent of trace elements like iron. What measures pure, the sun is pretty impressive. Has no solid surface, but is generally regarded as having a diameter of 864.900 miles. In comparison, the earth has a diameter of about 7900 miles.

Every second the sun sets around 5 million tons of matter into energy. The outer layer of the Sun, on average, about 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature in the core of the Sun is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.The Sun is expected to continue to keep burning for 5 billion years to 4.5. Break the blockade of sunshine!
