| The
Sun weighs 1,989,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
kilograms, |
| which
is 332,950 times greater than Earth!
|
|
The volume of the
Sun is 1,412,000,000,000,000,000 cubic kilometers,
|
|
which is 1.3 million times greater
than Earth.
|
|
The temperature of
the Sun is 9,940 degrees Fahrenheit.
|
| The
surface gravity of the Sun is 28 times greater than that
of Earth. |
| If
you weigh 100 pounds on earth, this means you would
weigh an |
| equivalent
of 2,800 pounds on the Sun.
|
| If
you were to shoot a bullet in one side of the Sun and it
came out
|
| the
other side, it could travel 864,949 miles (the diameter
of the Sun).
|
| The
Sun rotates every 609 hours (25.5 days), which is by
definition
|
| also
25.5 times longer than Earth’s rotation (1 day).
