Home The Sun

The Sun is a large ball of gas which gives us heat and light.

It is our nearest star.

Our Sun is made up of different layers one inside the other. The centre of the sun is called the core it is where the energy is produced. We know it makes energy we can feel the heat from it on a sunny day.

The suns energy travels out from the core giving off light. It takes millions of years for this light to get to the outside of the sun. When it gets to the outside the gases look like they are bubbling.

You should not look at the sun with your naked bare eyes there are special telescopes to look at it with.
