Teempakguy: the chromosphere is the hottest part of the sun. there is a sunspot which actually is the cold part of the sun. |

johnydon22: it also revolves. just like you pointed out, the sun is plasma of gases and as such it revolves round its poles and rotates round the centre of our galaxy. the milky way |

johnydon22: nice work bro. this point is very important, Infact majority doesn't know. one of the things that is still keeping the earth where it is now is the sun. the gravity provided by the sun and the moon too. Almost everything on earth is been caused by the sun. our radio frequency, oxygen and the list goes on. |

mrphysics:No . . . the chromosphere is the hottest part of the surface of the sun. it's just 6000 kelvin hot. the core on the other hand is about 15 million kelvin and the corona is around 20 million. so I guess we're both right . . . in a way. |

johnydon22: Not 5 billion. From your estimate, we only got 400 million years left. Thank God I'd be long gone by then. And that should be when christ would show up. I mean it doesn't make any sense to show up after the earth is gone would it? ![]() |

we were told that sun is a stationary body and earth is revolving round it (secondary school). but here you said sun rotates, do you want to confuse us. please explain how it rotates |

johnydon22: Nice. But though Canis majoris is one of the largest stars to have been discovered, it is NOT the largest star in the universe. No one knows what the largest star in the universe is because no one has ever observed the whole universe. The largest star discovered thus far is UY Scuti, but there's no way of telling if there are larger stars outside of the observable limits of our universe. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Which instrument was used to measure them, mostly the Canis or UY Skuti to determine their size and how many miles they are far from earth? This are just fables, tales by moonlight just to continue thier ideology that God doesn't exist. Why is that all Astrology/Astronomy practice atheism? These are what they use to continue holding them in bondage, was on the edge of. Believing them but thank God for his intervention 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: 10 Facts About The Sun You Probably Didn't Know by johnydon22(m): 4:41pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
SirAfoy1:Both are correct... But the sun is far from stationary. The sun and this entire system is part of a spiral galaxy and due to the action of gravity the arms of spiral galaxies swirl round the galactic center.. ![]() The sun is located in the Orions arm of the galaxy and so swirls with the arm around the galactic center. So yes the Sun has no Orbit in this solar system but rather is the center of this system with every planet in this solar system orbiting it but in turn the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. Take it like this.. The moon orbits the earth while the earth orbits the sun.. that is same way the sun in turn orbits the center of the galaxy. Hope this is clear 2 Likes |

With this analysis, there is high possibility that there is another habitable planet outside this our Earth,with science innovation, a jet that can fly at a speed more than that of light can built and stronger telescope can be used to discover another possible version of humans species that is living in other habitable planets. In everything Glory be to God in the highest. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Feraz:don't think so! what you see is dust, so the Ray can't penetrate a particular location that must which make it cool. in other word: the dust is blocking the sun Ray |

captianfreeman:I doubt if humanity will survive to that period but i think there will still be some life forms in the planet by then and when it happens every life form on this planet will be fried by the extreme heat from the over-sized red giant.. Just imagine earth being exactly like Mercury |
