The Sun is one of many stars that can be found in the solar system, except that it is the biggest. It has a very huge size and covers 98 percent of the overall size of the solar system. With an average rotation of twenty five days at the equator, and thirty six days at the poles the Sun is really big.
Its diameter is 1,392,000 kilometer and has the size that is about one hundred and nine times bigger than that of Earth. The Sun is comprised of three main parts which is helium, hydrogen and other types of gasses. The Sun moves around the galactic core at an estimated speed of approximately 25,000 light years, and completes a revolution every two hundred and fifty thousand years.
The inner part of the Sun is made up of a Core, Convective and Radiative zones. The centre is known as the core and this is the place where energy is formed through a process called nuclear fusion. When the energy emanates from the core, it is moved to the nearest part which is the Radiative zone. The Radiative zone is cooler and makes up about 85 percent of the Sun's radius.
The Convective zone is the part just below the Sun's surface and covers about fifteen percent of the surface of the Sun. Energy is transported by a bulk motion of gas, and this is a process called convection.
The layer of the Sun that can be seen outside is called the photosphere and its temperature is six thousand degrees Celsius. It looks like it is always molting because of the unrest created as a result of internal eruptions.
The photosphere is made up of photons that break out into the surface, and that is why it's called the Sun's surface. It has a thickness of about five hundred kilometer, and cannot be seen using the bare eyes. It is gassy in nature and hot.
Next to the Photosphere is a region called the Chromosphere. The energy emanating from the core, passes through all the way to the Chromosphere. The hydrogen clouds forming at the top is called Faculae and makes sunspot directly at the top.
Studies show that the Sun has been active for the past 4.6 billion years and will keep burning for another five billion years or more. It also indicates that the Sun will start fusing helium at the end of its life into heavier elements and start to swell and grow so large to swallow the Earth. It will collapse after a billion years to what is known as white dwarf, and may take up to a trillion years to completely cool off and fade into what is called a black dwarf.
