How far away is the sun from the clouds?

Approximately 93 million miles. In comparison, the distance from the ground to the clouds is at most about five miles. Because the sun is so far away from Earth, the difference between the distance from the ground to the sun and the distance from the clouds to the sun is not significant.


Can solar power work without the sun?

No. No other object in the solar system produces significant amounts of light.


How can you tell Jupiter is not a star?

Stars generate their own light, and are enormous. Jupiter is about 1/400th the size of our Sun, and reflects the light of the Sun, generating no light of its own. (However, it does radiate significant amounts of radio energy.)


What pattern can you see between the serface temperature and the distance from the sun?

The surface temperature of the Earth is affected by many different factors. Although Earth's orbit alters the distance between the sun and Earth, the change in surface temperature is minimal compared to other factors. As evidence of this, consider the surface temperature at the poles, well below freezing at all times. Now compare this with the temperature in the tropics, where the temperature can be 60C higher than the poles. Consider also the change in temperature between night and day. Once again, there is a significant change in temperature with no significant change in distance from the sun. Factors such as cloud, wind and many other meteorological factors change the surface temperature more than the distance from the sun. However, we are able to say that the energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is reduced when Earth is further away from the sun. The amount of energy is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between sun and Earth.


What type of orbit do the planets have to revolve around the sun?

According to Keplers first law of 1618 which has not been repealed yet, the planets each move in an elliptical orbit with the Sun occupying one focus. The shape of an ellipse is described by the eccentricity. For low eccentricity such as the planets' orbits have, the orbit is very close to being a circle but the most significant difference is that the Sun is off-centre.
