Simple Facts About the Sun for Kids

The Sun is a G-type Yellow dwarf star that formed approximately 6 billion years ago, composed of 91% hydrogen and 9% helium. Its surface, known as the Photosphere, contains only about 0.002% of actual matter, while the core reaches temperatures exceeding 27 million degrees Celsius, converting gases into plasma. This high temperature allows the Sun to emit significant amounts of energy and conduct electricity.

THE SUN

The Sun is a G-type Yellow dwarf star, Formed around 6 Billion years ago. It is made out of 91 percent hydrogen and 9
percent helium although, there is only about 0.002 percent actual matter that is found on the surface of the sun which is
known as the Photosphere. The reason for this is that the sun has high temperatures everywhere(except the Photosphere)
reaching higher than 27 millon degrees celcius giving off huge energy amounts and that turns the gaseous hydrogen and
the helium to plasma where the electrons break of the atoms being able to conduct electricity.
