Description
"The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core. The Sun radiates this energy mainly as light, ultraviolet, and infrared radiation, and is the most important source of energy for life on Earth."
"A typical star, the Sun has a diameter of approximately 865,000 miles (nearly 10 times larger than the diameter of Jupiter) and is composed primarily of hydrogen.
The Sun's core is an astonishing 29,000,000 degrees F., while the pressure is about 100 billion times the atmospheric pressure here on Earth."
Just after finishing up photographing sunspots, a small plane flew between my vantage point and the sun, silhouetting nicely against it, just before the clouds moved in completely covering the setting sun. Taken by EZ Lorenz Imagery, Bellevue, Washington
