  2. Sun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

    Fusing four free protons (hydrogen nuclei) into a single alpha particle (helium nucleus) releases around 0.7% of the fused mass as energy, [68] so the Sun releases energy at the mass–energy conversion rate of 4.26 billion kg/s (which requires 600 billion kg of hydrogen [69]), for 384.6 yottawatts (3.846 × 10 26 W), [5] or 9.192 × 10 10 ...

  3. Sun-Earth Day - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun-Earth_Day

    Sun-Earth Day is a joint educational program established in 2000 by NASA and ESA. The goal of the program is to popularize the knowledge about the Sun, and the way it influences life on Earth, among students and the public. [1] The day itself is mainly celebrated in the United States near the time of the spring equinox. However, the Sun-Earth ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System

    Thus, the Sun occupies 0.00001% (1 part in 10 7) of the volume of a sphere with a radius the size of Earth's orbit, whereas Earth's volume is roughly 1 millionth (106) that of the Sun. Jupiter, the largest planet, is 5.2 AU from the Sun and has a radius of 71,000 km (0.00047 AU; 44,000 mi), whereas the most distant planet, Neptune, is 30 AU ...

  5. Radiative zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_zone

    In the Sun, the region between the solar core at 0.2 of the Sun's radius and the outer convection zone at 0.71 of the Sun's radius is referred to as the radiation zone, although the core is also a radiative region. [1] The convection zone and the radiative zone are divided by the tachocline, another part of the Sun.

  6. Solar core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_core

    The Sun is much hotter than a compost heap due to the Sun's enormous volume and limited thermal conductivity. [ 8 ] The low power outputs occurring inside the fusion core of the Sun may also be surprising, considering the large power which might be predicted by a simple application of the Stefan–Boltzmann law for temperatures of 10–15 ...

  7. Sun chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_chart

    Most sun charts plot azimuth versus altitude throughout the days of the winter solstice and summer solstice, as well as a number of intervening days.Since the apparent movement of the Sun as viewed from Earth is nearly symmetrical about the solstice, plotting dates for one half of the year gives a good approximation for the rest of the year.

  8. Midnight sun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_sun

    Midnight sun at the North Cape on the island of Magerøya in Norway. Midnight sun, also known as polar day, is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the Sun remains visible at the local midnight.

  9. Sunlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight

    If the extraterrestrial solar radiation is 1,367 watts per square meter (the value when the Earth–Sun distance is 1 astronomical unit), then the direct sunlight at Earth's surface when the Sun is at the zenith is about 1,050 W/m 2, but the total amount (direct and indirect from the atmosphere) hitting the ground is around 1,120 W/m 2.
