Answer 3

-- very big

-- All planets and other objects in our solar system orbit the sun

-- It is a cool (temperature wise..) star

-- Its colour is yellow-orange

-- It is a medium sized star

-- It is estimated that the sun will burn for another 5 billion years

-- Sol is Latin for Sun

-- The sun is not only the largest body in our solar system, in a way, it's

almost the only one. More than 99% of all the mass in the solar system

is in the sun. All the planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other things

in the solar system, combined, amount to almost nothing compared to it.

-- The sun is not as hot as the temperature of a lightning bolt on Earth

-- Our sun will destroy us (if we don't so it to ourselves first). After its fuel is used up,

it will become larger and engulf the earth. After that it will shrink to become a 'white

dwarf', an earth sized star with white light.

-- The sun is an average distance of 92,955,887.6 miles from Earth.

Answer 4

because it gives use light and heat to survive
