The Sun

The Sun, as we all know it, provides us light in the day time. However, there are some who may not have seen light, e.g. Geeks.. :p.

Well, the Sun is a stationary ball of fire placed in the middle of our rotating solar system. All planets, including ours, rotates around it. It is so hot, at 5,600 Celsius on the surface and 15,000,000 Celsius towards the core ¹, it could burn anything passing by it.

The Sun provides important energy to our green plants so that they could produce food through photosynthesis. By doing that, it can grow and from it, we, the human, can pick it up and eat it.

Sun ray also provides vitamin D to nourish our skin so that it stays healthy. However, too much sun ray will cause skin cancer. So beware of this.

The thinning of our ozone layer is currently allowing too much of sun ray penetrating through our atmosphere creating this phenomenon called "Green House" effect. This "Green House" effect is bad and will cause our sea level to rise and other problems.

The sun is and always will be an important planet in our solar system. To learn more about the great sun, find our here.
