The Sun

 This adventure is a look at the centre of our Solar System, the Sun. The Sun is so large that you could put 1 million Earths in the Sun. It is the source of light in our solar system and is responsible for life on Earth, even though it is 150 million kilometres away. 

The Sun is composed of a light element called Hydrogen. It produces its light through a process of nuclear fusion, reactions similar to those of a nuclear bomb exploding in its core to release energy or, as we call it, Sunlight, by converting Hydrogen into Helium.

The Sun occasionally disappears, this is called a solar eclipse. This results in the Sun appearing to turn black, and for a brief few seconds, the day becomes night. The glow that we see around the moon during an eclipse is called the Corona. 

In line with the Sun's power output, it creates sunspots, which are dark patches that appear on the Sun's surface as they are cooler than the surrounding 5,500 degrees Celsius of the Sun's surface, as a result of the Sun's magnetic field.

The Sun sometimes produces spectacles for us. It produces Solar prominence for us, which is just a gigantic gas cloud of glowing gas that floats in the Sun's atmosphere. However, we can observe the Sun's spectacles on Earth with light shows, I am referring to the Northern and Southern lights that are caused by tiny particles that are caught in the magnetic field of our planet at the poles. Another name for the Northern Lights is them in the Northern Hemisphere, or the name that scientists use, the Aurorae.
