Question 1

What is the sun's temperature?

Accepted Answer

The sun's temperature is about 5,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

The sun's temperature is approximately 5,500 degrees Fahrenheit. 
This number is calculated by measuring the energy emitted from the sun and then calculating its average heat. The surface of the sun can reach temperatures of up to 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Question 2

What is the sun's color?

Accepted Answer

The sun is a yellow star.
The color of the sun is yellow.
The color of the sun is often described as being golden, but it can also be white or orange.

Question 3

What are solar eclipses?

Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes in front of the sun and blocks it from view. This can only happen during a new moon, which is when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of Earth. A solar eclipse happens for about two minutes or less, but it will be visible for much longer because we see its effects after they have passed by. The most common effect is that animals go quiet because they know something big is happening!.

Question 4

How far away from earth is the sun?

Accepted Answer

The sun is about 150 million kilometers away from Earth.
The sun is the closest star to Earth, and it's about 150 million kilometers away. 
150 million kilometers.

Question 5

What is the sun made of?

Accepted Answer

The sun is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium. It also contains some other elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, iron, magnesium, silicon and sulfur. The sun is a ball of gas that's made up of hot plasma and it has a core that generates heat through nuclear fusion.

The sun is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium. It also contains some other elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, iron, magnesium, silicon and sulfur. The sun is a ball of gas that's made up of hot plasma and it has a core that generates heat through nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion happens when the nuclei in two atoms are smashed together so hard they fuse into one atom with slightly less mass than the two original ones had before they fused. This releases energy in the form of light (and sometimes other particles).

Question 6

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?

Accepted Answer

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking out the sun's light. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth moves between the sun and moon, blocking out the sunlight that normally reflects off of Earth and onto the moon.

A solar eclipse is caused by a total or partial blockage of sunlight from reaching earth due to an alignment of these three celestial bodies. A lunar eclipse is caused by an alignment of these three celestial bodies in which earth is positioned between them, casting its shadow on the moon.
