Celestial Body of the Week

By:Matthew

Hey have you ever wondered what the sun is or what it’s made of? Ok well our sun is a big round ball in the middle of our solar system. Our sun is made of pure gas most of our gas is sensitive to magnetism. This sensitivity makes this type of gas so special that scientists sometimes give it a special name: plasma. Eight planets and their moons, tens of thousands of asteroids, and trillions of comets revolve around the sun. The sun and all these objects are in the solar system. Earth travels around the sun at an average distance of about 92,960,000 miles from it. The suns temperature is about 5,500 degrees. So just imagine u in the middle of the pe field in the hot summer of the weather of about 110 degrees and then multiply it by 5 and that is how hot the sun is.
