Where is The Sun Located? And how Big is It?
The Sun is located in the Middle of the Solar System. It has a diameter of about 1,392,684 km, about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.
WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THIS STAR KNOWN AS THE SUN?
The Sun
The Suns Layers.
Core
The core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 to 0.25 solar radius. It is the hottest part of the Sun and of the Solar System.
Corona
An aura of plasma that surrounds the sun and other celestial bodies.
THE SUN IS SO FACSINATING BUT TO HOT TO EXPLORE!!!
Radiotive & Convective Zone
Raditive Zone: A radiation zone, radiative zone or radiative region is a layer of a star's interior where energy is primarily transported toward the exterior by means of radiative diffusion and thermal conduction.
Convective Zone: A convection zone, convective zone or convective region of a star is a layer which is unstable to convection.
PhotoSphere & Chromosphere
The Photosphere is The photosphere is a star's outer shell from which light is radiated.
The Chromosphere: The chromosphere is the second of the three main layers in the Sun's atmosphere and is roughly 2,000 kilometers deep.
