You could fit one million Earths inside of the sun
The sun has a very strong force of gravity, which keep all of the planets orbiting around it
The sun is huge ball of hot, glowing gases, mostly hydrogen and helium
The core of the sun can be as hot as 25 million degrees Fahrenheit
In the core hydrogen is changed into helium, and huge amounts of energy are given off
The sun provides Earth with light and heat

8. one revolution around the sun = 365 days
Revolution/Orbit
one revolution around the sun = 365 days

9. one rotation of Earth’s axis = 1 day
