• The Sun appears to be yellow-gold because we view it through Earth’s atmosphere. The Sun’s actual color is more white than yellow.
• The Sun contains 99.9 percent of all matter in our solar system.
• English astronomer James Jeans determined that if you placed a piece of the Sun’s core the size of the head of a pin on Earth, it would still generate enough heat to kill a person 84 miles away.
• The surface gravity of the Sun is 28 times that of Earth. If you weigh 120 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 3,360 pounds on the Sun.
