If you were there

It is the biggest star
The sun is 4.5 billion years old
93 million miles from Earth
Similar stars in the Milky Way Galaxy
Supports life on Earth causes seasons, climate, ocean currents, circulation of air weather in atmosphere
Sun is 333,400 more times massive than Earth
IT contains 99.86% of the mass in the solar system everything else adds up to about 0.14%
Core 27 million degrees F
energy adds up to 100 billion tons of TNT exploding every second
10,000^o F at the surface
Sun is gaseous, it rotates faster at the equator (26.8 days) than at the poles (as long as 35 days)
Composed of hydrogen (71%), helium (26.5%), and other gases (2.5%)
End of life fuse helium into heavier elements and begin to swell up swallow Earth trillions of years before cooling off

109 Earth to cover the Sun's disk and interior could up to 1.3 million Earths
Gravity on the sun's surface is about 28 times stronger than at the Earth's surface

Weigh 100 lb. on Earth you would weigh about 2,800 lb. on the sun
