The sun is a gig ball of gas,it is hot realy hot it is the only star in are solar sysetem. The sun has very strong gravity that keeps us in orbit. it also gives us heat for the planent. Whti out the sun we would not be here. There is something caled the solar cycle evry 11 years sun spots aprear more and soalr flares will happen more then normal. Somtimes the suns magnetic foeld will be stroner at the time of the 11 year cycle. The poles will filp north to south or south to north depending when the poles fliped or what its like now. In the next 22 years the sun will go back to the soloar minimium.

**Notes** The sun is a star. It is like many other stars in the sky. But it looks bigger and brighter. This is because it is much closer to Earth than any other star. The sun is the center of the solar system. All the planets orbit (move in a circle) around it. The sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth. The sun is a burning ball of gases. It is much larger than Earth. About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it.

 * Sun**

The sun is a 4.6-billion-year-old star at the center of the solar system. Eight planets as well as asteroids, comets, space rocks, ice, and dwarf planets orbit around it. There are many other stars in the universe but the sun appears bigger and brighter than any of these. This is because it is much closer to Earth than any other star.

When gas expands in the corona, it throws out solar winds. Solar prominences erupt from the sun's surface in columns of gas. They shoot into space or loop back toward the sun. ||

Facts About the Sun
The sun is 332,900 times more massive than Earth. About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it. It contains more than 99 percent of the entire mass in the solar system. The sun is a burning ball of hydrogen and helium. The sun is a yellow dwarf star. A dwarf star is a middle-aged star. Although it uses 4 million tons of fuel per second, it has enough to burn for five or six billion more years. After that, it will become a red giant star. This is an older star that is running out of fuel. The sun spins on its axis, but because it is made of gas, all of it does not turn at the same speed. Its rotation is about 25 days at the equator and 35 days at the poles. But because of Earth's movement, the rotation appears to be about 28 days at the equator.
