THE IMMENSE PULLL OF ITS GRAVITY HOLDS THE PLANETS, DWARF PLANETS, ASTEROIDS, COMETS AND OTHER BODOES IN ORBIT AROUND IT. THE AVERAGE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SUN AND EARTH IS ROUGHLY 93 MILLION MILES (150 MILLION KILOMETERS). LIGHT TRAVELS THROUGH SPACE AT ABOUT 186,282 MILES (299,792) KILOMETERS AT THE CENTER WITH ALL THE PLANETS REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN.

THE LOWEST LAYER OF THE SUNS ATMOSPHERE IS THE PHOTOSPHERE. IT IS ABOUT 300 MILES (500 KILOMETERS) THICK. THIS LAYER IS WHERE THE SUNS ENERGY IS RELEASED AS LIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE FOM THE SUN TO EARTH LIGHT REACHES OUR PLANET IN ABOUT 8 MINUTES. THE PHOTOSPHERE IS MARKED BBY BRIGHT BUBBLING GRANULES OF PLASMA AND DARKER COOLER SUNSPOTS WHICH EMERGE WHEN THE SUNS MAGNETIC FIELD BREAKS THROUGH THE SRFACE. SUNSPOTS APPEAR TO MOVE ACROSS THE SUNS DISK. OBSERVING THIS MOTION LED ASTRONOMERS TO REALIZE THAT THE SUN ROTATES ON ITS AXIS. SIMCE THE SUN IS A BALL OF GAS WITH NO SOLID FOR DIFFERENT REGIONS ROTATE AT DIFFERENT RATES. THE SUNS EQUATORIAL REGIONS ROTATE IN ABOUT 24 DAYS WHILE THE POLAR I CE CAPS REGIONS TAKE MORE THAN 30DAYS TO MAKE A COMPLETE ROTATION. THE PHOTOSPHERE IS ALSO THE SOURCE OF SOLAR FLARES TONGUES OF THAT EXTEND HUNDREDS...
