- Have you ever questioned as to how and why we are able to dry our clothes in the summer, and to be able to heat food and treat our water?
- This all thanks to the sun
- Without the sun, we all would be dead, it gives us light, heat and energy to heat up the Earth
- Most of the energy stays inside of the sun because of its gravitational pull, and all small amounts leave the surface in the form of radiant energy
Type of star:
Age: Yellow dwarf
4.5 Billion Years
Diameter: 1,392,684 km
Mass:
1.99 × 10^30 kg (333,060 Earths)
Surface Temperature:
10,000°C 5,600 °C
How Does the Sun Work?
Nuclear Fusion:
Fusion is a process where the nuclei of atoms bond together to form a heavier chemical element

- Once the light interacts with the material, light photons are exchanged to the material and give some of their vitality to the electrons within it
- In other words, objects/materials that contain phosphorescence store and re-emanate light ,when it is in an ‘excited’ state
- The reason as to why they are in an excited state is due to the extra energy the photons are producing
- As time passes by, the molecules slowly go back to their original state by giving off photons which we see as the glow of an object (emission of photons during relaxation)
Have you noticed that most of the glow-in-the-dark objects that we have are mainly green? Why is that?
- Scientifically, when making an object glow using phosphorescence, the chemical phosphor use is zinc sulfide (it’s affordable to produce and harmless)
- This chemical is then combined with other chemicals to make it more stable and flexible when being used in paints, and other …show more content…
- Living organisms can manipulate when they illuminate by managing their chemistry and mind forms upon on their prompt needs, whether it’s a supper or a mate
- Majority of bioluminescence produced in the ocean is in the form of a bluish-green light
- This is because of hues being shorter wavelengths of light, which can go through (and therefore be seen) in both shallow and vast water
- Light going from the sun of longer wavelengths, for example, red light doesn 't achieve the cavernous ocean
- This is the reason numerous remote ocean creatures are red: it 's successfully the same as being
