12 Characteristics of the Sun: Radius of 720,000km Orbital Velocity of 450,000km Axial Tilt of 7.25 degrees Temperature of 15,000,000 Degrees Celsius at its Core Density of 160 g/cm^3 Volume of 1.412 x 10^18 km^3 Surface Gravity of 274 m/s^2 Mass of 1.98892 x 10^30kg Orbited by 8 planets Orbital period of 230,000,000 earth years Ellipticity of 0.00005 Equator circumference 4,379,000 km Absolute magnitude or brightness +4.83 Fun Facts about the Sun: It is a Yellow Type G Dwarf Star Our Sun is a medium-sized star. The Sun orbits the center of the milky way center. The name of the sun comes from the Greek word Sol. The sun is about 4.6 billion Years Old The sun used to have rings. 75% Hydrogen 25% Helium Bulk Composition Sun has very active Solar Activity The temperature of the core triggers nuclear fusion Sunspots are related to Magnetic Field Activity, and they occur in pairs.
The suns polarity, or magnetic field, flips every 11 years. Undergoes differential rotation. Will become a red giant and will have no supernova. The sun lives on the Orion Arm. 6 Major Layers of the Sun. 99.87% Mass of our Solar System 200 Billion times the Earths Atmospheric Pressure In the core, it is hot enough to trigger nuclear fusion.
