   Aug 5, 2024 · The Sun sends lots of other energy and small particles toward Earth. Earth’s protective magnetic field and atmosphere shields us from most of the energy and particles. But sometimes a big stream of these particles reaches Earth and interacts with the gases at the outer edge of our atmosphere.

   1 day ago · The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies.

   Why do we have a solar system?

   • Here are just a few reasons why: The Sun’s gravity holds our entire solar system together. Our solar system is even named after the Sun (the Latin word for Sun is “sol”). Heat from the Sun makes Earth warm enough to live on. Without light from the Sun, there would be no plants or animals—and, therefore, no food and we wouldn’t exist.

   How does a spacecraft help us learn more about the Sun?

   • This spacecraft will help us learn more about how the Sun works and how solar activity starts. This helps us to be more prepared! More fun facts about the Sun! The Sun goes through ups and downs in activity like solar flares. It gets more active with more sunspots and then less active over a period of 11 years.

   How will the evolution of the sun continue?

   • The evolution of the Sun should continue on the same path as that taken by most stars. As the core hydrogen is used up, the nuclear burning will take place in a growing shell surrounding the exhausted core.

   1 day ago · Sun - Evolution, Structure, Radiation: The Sun has been shining for 4.6 billion years. Considerable hydrogen has been converted to helium in the core, where the burning is most rapid. The helium remains there, where it absorbs radiation more readily than hydrogen.
