Photons in sun travel is a straight path on the way?
Photons do travel in a straight path. To a person observing the photons though they will appear to be curved because of the gravitational field.
What is the best way to describe the surface of the sun?
Plasma, mostly helium plasma.Also: hot.
What happen to the astronauts that landed on the sun?
Firstly, no astronaut culd get to the sun. The heat would vaporise them and their craft long before then. Secondly, even if they could reach it, the sun has no solid surface; it is entirely plasma and gas. So, there is no way to land on the sun at all.
Is the sun hotter than the core of the earth?
The reason why the surface of the sun is colder than the sun's core is because the surface is father from the core of the sun.As you get deeper and closer to the sun's core,it gets hotter and hotter because your getting closer to the sun's core which is 15,000,000 F and 13,000,000 C
What causes the lunar cycle to occur?
The luminescence of the moon is caused by the sun's light reflecting off of it's surface. The lunar cycles occur because the earth gets in the way of the sun's light.

Where is the pull of gravity stronger at the surface of the earth or at the surface at the sun?
the sun because its mass is way bigger than that of earths
What is the sun divided into?
The sun is divided into layers and zones. In the center of the sun is the core that extends a quarter of the way to its surface.
Does the sun's atmosphere consist of oxygen?
The Sun consists mainly of hydrogen and helium. That should include the atmosphere. In a way, the Sun only consists of atmosphere; it doesn't have a surface where you can step on.The Sun consists mainly of hydrogen and helium. That should include the atmosphere.

Explain in what way solar cells are like leaves of plants?
Leaves in a plant have light photons whicch absorb the sunlight energy given from the sun . The solar cells are like the light photons and they too absorb sunlight energy
Can a human touch the sun?
No. Even if you had a way to get there, you would be ashes thousands of miles before you reached the surface of the sun.
What core produces sunlight?
The core of the sun does not produce any sunlight, the surface of the sun does.Photons are produced in the core as gamma rays at a temperature of about 15 million Kelvin, being absorbed and reemitted repeatedly by atoms, cooling along the way, take from 10,000 years to 170,000 years to reach the surface as visible light at a temperature of about 4000 Kelvin to 6000 Kelvin. As the reemitted photon is usually not the same energy as the one absorbed by the atom (usually lower energy and thus cooler), it is reasonable to assume it is actually a different photon (although being bosons photons are all identical and indistinguishable).Once emitted on the surface of the sun photons that arrive on earth as sunlight take only 8 minutes to complete this final trip.
What is a way organisms make food by using suns energy?
Since this is the botany section we will use photosynthesis as the example of organisms, plants, making food from the photons of light ( the sun's energy ), carbon dioxide, water and a few trace minerals.
Does most of the Sun's energy make it to the Earth's surface?
No, the Sun is a spherical star and it radiates it energy in all directions from all of its surface, this amounts to 384.6 yotta watts (3.846×1026 W)per second.The earth is VERY small and quite a long way from the Sun and only receives 84 Terrawatts of Power per day over its entire surface, a very small fraction of what the Sun is producing.
Is a burning house hotter than the surface of the sun?
No way. Not even close.
What is the way the sun's energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What can you do to make rubber shrink?
Yes, rubber can shrink, in two ways, for two separate reasons. Rubber can shrink if put in the dryer for an immense amount of time, the reason for this is the molecules in the rubber absorb the nucleotides around the surface, there for, giving the rubber a smaller appearance. Rubber can also shrink if you leave it in the sunlight for too long. Now this is a debated subject, but it is very true. The rubber absorbs the leftover photons the sun contributes to the objects and organisms around it, therefore, making the rubber shrink. The way you can get rubber, depending on the type, to be prevent from shrinking, you can either rub saliva on it, making the rubber absorb the bacteria and create antibodies against the dryer nucleotides and photons from the sun. Another way is not leaving your rubber in the dryer or the sun.
