Our Amazing Sun!

4th Feb 2025

We watched a film about the Sun and worked in pairs to note down five amazing facts we learnt about the star in our solar system!

Did you know the Sun’s core has a temperature of 15 million degrees Celsius and has an outer temperature of 5500 degrees?  

The Sun is 93 million miles away from the Earth.

It is 70% hydrogen gas and 28% helium gas.  

The Sun provides light energy that plants use for growth.  So, no sunlight - no plants!  No plants, no food for cattle and sheep and no food for us!
