the sun is about 70 percent hydrogen and 28 percent helium, the other 2 percent is made up of heavier elements such as iron, silicon and magnesium that could only have formed from something as powerful as a supernova.

How do you measure the radius of sun?

The radius of the Sun is typically measured using observations of its shape and size. Scientists use various methods such as helioseismology (studying solar oscillations) and analyzing solar phenomena like sunspots and solar flares to estimate the Sun's radius. These measurements help determine the Sun's physical size and structure.


Is the word sun a concrete noun?

Yes, the noun 'sun' is a concrete noun. A concrete noun is a word for something that can be experienced by any of the five physical senses; something that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. The sun can be seen and its heat can be felt and measured. It's not recommended, but the sun is a physical object that could be touched if you could travel that far.


How tall is the sun?

The sun is a star, not a physical object like a person or a building. It doesn't have a height like we think of in terms of physical objects. The sun is a massive ball of hot gas, and its size is measured in terms of its diameter, which is about 1.4 million kilometers.

What techniques do you find in common between how we probe the internal structure of the Sun and the internal structure of Earth?

We use seismic waves (or pressure waves) to interpret the internal structure of both the sun and earth. When studying the sun it is called helioseismology on earth it is just called seismology
