Not just a giant ball of burning gas. The Sun Not just a giant ball of burning gas.

Sun Facts Source of natural light & heat energy Center of Solar System Rotates Takes 8.5 minutes to reach Earth Will produce energy for billions of years

Parts of the Sun Atmosphere – Gases around the Sun Corona – main part of Sun’s Atmosphere - Only seen during an eclipse Core - Middle or Center of Sun

The Sun’s Core Sphere of glowing gases Main gases: Hydrogen & Helium Heat Energy produced during Chemical change within the Core

Sunspots Storms occurring on the Sun Cooler in temperature than rest of Sun Occur in 11 year cycles

Solar Flares Storms that spray gases & matter into space Cause static noise in long distance radio broadcasts Create the Northern Lights

Solar Eclipse Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun Too dangerous to look at directly with human eyes

Lunar Eclipse Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon Safe to view with just your eyes
