The Sun (Textbook reference 14-2
• The sun is an ordinary star.• The sun is the biggest,
brightest, and hottest object in the solar system.
• Its energy is the result of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium nuclei.
• The sun is made of about 70% hydrogen and 28% helium.

Our Sun is a star that has already spentabout 5 billion years on the main sequence.
Scientist believe our Sun is roughly halfwaythrough it's life.

What causes the seasons?
1. 23.5° tilt of Earth’s axis2. Direct vs. indirect sun
rays3. Length of daylight

Sun
In one year the earth revolves around the sun one time.
For every time Earth rotates on
it’s axis, one day passes.
In one year the earth rotates on its axis one 365
times.
Which season is it when the south end of Earth’s axis is tilted toward the sun?

Rotate vs. Revolve
• Rotation – spin of an object on its axis
• Revolution – orbit of an object around another object

Why does one side of the moon always face us?
• Moon rotates once every 27.3 days
• Moon revolves once every 29.5 days
• Moon’s rotation approximately equal to its revolution
