The sun has a core temperature of 15 million Kelvin and a surface temperature of 9,932 degrees Fahrenheit. It is 4.5 billion years old and will exist in its current form for another 5 billion years before running out of hydrogen. Solar flares are sudden bursts of radiation caused by collisions between magnetic fields on the sun's surface. The sun is the largest mass in the solar system and emits solar wind, which causes phenomena like the Northern Lights and affects spacecraft trajectories.

1. 8 Fun Sun Facts
There’s a lot about the sun you probably don’t know!

2. 1. Temperature
 At its core, the sun has
a temperature of 15
million Kelvin, which is
27 million degrees
Fahrenheit.
 Its surface temperature,
however, is a little
cooler at 9,932 degrees
Fahrenheit.

3. 2. Age
 The sun is 4.5 billion years old and scientists
speculate it will exist in its present form for about
5 billion more years before running out of
hydrogen.

4. 3. Solar flares
 Solar flares are sudden, brief explosions of
intense, high-energy radiation from the sun’s
surface. They are caused by magnetic fields on
the sun colliding together.

5. 4. Mass
 Scientists have established the sun as having
the largest mass in our solar system

6. 5. Solar wind
 The sun emits a stream of charged particles (in
addition to heat and light) called solar wind,
which causes the following:
 Radio interference at certain times
 The Aurora Borealis (aka the Northern Lights)
 The tails of comets
 The trajectory of spacecraft to change

7. 6. Solar eclipse
 A solar eclipse happens when Earth passes the
shadow of the moon. A total solar eclipse
happens only during a new moon, which is when
the moon is directly between the Earth and sun.

8. 7. Weight
 A person who weighs
100 pounds on Earth
will weigh 2,700 pounds
on the sun.
 To calculate your
weight on the sun,
multiply your actual,
current weight by 27.

9. 8. Solar energy
 The sun’s energy is so powerful that it can be
harnessed by solar panels and converted into
electricity.
 When it comes to solar energy, Nevada
residents in particular are no stranger to its
benefits.
 When you live in a sunny state like Nevada,
there’s no reason to not use solar power. Las
Vegas residents have lower power bills when
they invest in solar panels.
