The Sun

It depends on your view point. Looking at the solar system from above our north pole, the sun and all of the planets rotate/orbit counter clockwise (or anti clockwise).

The Earth does not provide any direct benefits to the Sun. However, its presence helps maintain the balance of mass and energy in the solar system, contributing to the Sun's stability and long-term sustainability. The Earth's gravitational pull also influences the Sun's orbit and motion.

Nuclear explosive devices have been built as small as cylinders 6 inches in diameter and 20 inches long or as small as spheres 11 inches in diameter to as large as cylinders 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet tall.

If you meant explosive yield then devices have been built with yields as low as 10 tons to over 50 megatons.

The physical size and yield are not necessarily proportional.

The sun is generally strongest in the afternoon when it is higher in the sky and the angle of its rays hitting the Earth is more direct. However, the exact timing can vary depending on factors like geographical location and time of year.

Solar panels are typically black because black color absorbs more sunlight and converts it into electricity efficiently. The dark color helps the panels to maximize the absorption of sunlight, which is crucial for generating electricity from solar energy.

No, a solar prominence is not a thermonuclear reaction. Solar prominences are large, bright features extending outward from the Sun's surface due to magnetic activity. Thermonuclear reactions, on the other hand, occur in the Sun's core where hydrogen atoms are fused into helium, releasing energy in the process.

It is highly unlikely that a solar flare could directly destroy Earth. However, a particularly powerful solar flare could cause disruptions to our technology and infrastructure, such as damaging satellites, power grids, and communication systems. Scientists and agencies monitor solar activity to better understand and prepare for potential impacts.

Victreebel learns Solar Beam at level 52. Alternatively, it can also learn Solar Beam through TM22 in most Pokémon games.

The third planet from the sun, Earth, is unique because it has liquid water on its surface, a moderate climate suitable for life, and a diverse range of ecosystems. These factors make Earth the only known planet in the universe to support life as we know it.

The sun is the primary source of light because it emits energy through a process called nuclear fusion in its core, which produces electromagnetic radiation in the form of light. This light travels through space and reaches Earth, illuminating our planet and providing the necessary energy for life to thrive.

the suns surface is 5500 degeres celcius. also hitler is a jew. i like hitler!

If the sun didn't exist, Earth would not have light or heat to support life as we know it. The absence of the sun would disrupt Earth's orbit and cause extreme cold temperatures, leading to the cessation of photosynthesis and eventual extinction of most forms of life.

The sun doesn't float because it is made of gas and fire.The sun is basically a big giant ball of gas and fire.So it is impossible for the sun to float. If you think anything else wrong!

No, the sun will not shine forever. The sun is a star that will eventually run out of fuel and expand into a red giant before collapsing into a white dwarf. This process will last billions of years, but eventually the sun will no longer be able to sustain nuclear fusion and will fade away.

No, the sun can't have landforms like mountains or valleys because the sun isn't solid. The sun is made of plasma, which is like a hot gas.

The core of the Sun is the central region where nuclear fusion reactions take place. It is the hottest part of the Sun and is responsible for generating the energy that sustains the Sun's radiative output. The core is primarily composed of hydrogen undergoing fusion to create helium.

Yes, the sun affects water through processes like evaporation, which is when the sun heats up water causing it to turn into vapor. The sun is also a major factor in the water cycle, driving the movement of water around the Earth through processes like precipitation and transpiration.

The sun's interior is composed of dense, hot gases that generate immense heat and pressure through nuclear fusion. At its core, temperatures can reach about 15 million degrees Celsius, creating a glowing ball of plasma that emits light and energy. The sun's intense gravity holds this mass together, preventing it from expanding and cooling.

Never nor will it ever, our sun is too small to explode (nova or super nova) according to predominent theory in another 4 or 5 billion years it will expand into a red giant (turning earth into a cinder at the same time) then some time later as it consumes the last of its fuel become at white dwarf

In an article I read recently called "Life in the Sun" by Erasmatazz on erasmatazz.com the author explores the likelihood of life having developed inside or on the Sun. He says that we are made of atoms of various kinds arranged in Negentropy, that is in a state of flux, movement. "And that's the whole point about life: it's not energy, it's not matter, it's a highly organized arrangement of matter -- matter graced with lots of negentropy". He notes that the Sun is also a body containing all the components that make up life and it is in a state of high negentropy. The life of an organism depends on changes in energy to be able to grow and move, plants need high and low energy periods, day and night. He goes on that the inside of a star is the best place to find high levels of negentropy, "But, deep inside the sun, there's another place that might just support life. It's the transition zone between the radiative layer and the convective layer. You've got lots of negentropy pouring out of the core and piling up in this transition zone, in much the same way that those photons hit the earth's surface."

Getting there would be a problem because of the estimated Heat in the Suns corona. But..

In 2011 on 16th December something frozen did manage to stay frozen inside the corona of the Sun. It was the only 2 days that there was ZERO activity of the Sun in that year, no flares or sunspots. quote from space.com - "Comet Lovejoy plunged through the sun's corona at about 7 p.m. EST today (midnight GMT on Dec. 16), coming within 87,000 miles (140,000 kilometers) of our star's surface. Temperatures in the corona can reach 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million degrees Celsius), so most researchers expected the icy wanderer to be completely destroyed. " It was described before the encounter as a gritty ball of ice and it survived for an Hour Inside the corona! therefore it is the ACTIVITY of the Sun that causes damage not the temperature because Ice Melts in Heat.

Therefore if someone went into the Sun during a time of ZERO activity as far as the transition zone between the radiative layer and the convective layer they might have a chance of actually living and finding something wonderful.

Nothing. Solar is not an abbreviation or acronym.

It comes from Sol meaning the sun.

The sun appears yellow due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering shorter blue and violet wavelengths more than longer red, orange, and yellow wavelengths. Stars appear white because their light is a combination of different colors emitted at various intensities, giving them an overall white appearance to our eyes.

Heat from the sun is key to life on Earth, because plants need the energy from the sun to grow, and the animals need plants to eat, and other animals need animals to eat, and then humans eat plants and animals. The sun can do other things like power solar panels, or help you get a tan, or can dry your clothes.

Satellites orbit Earth in the thermosphere and exosphere, which are the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere where most satellites, particularly those in geostationary orbit, are found.
