Some facts about the sun.
1. The Sun is one among the 200 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy.
2. The Earth receives 94 billion megawatt of energy from Sun. This is equivalent to 40,000 times the power requirement of United States.
...
3. Each second the Sun loses 5 million tons of material.
4. The Sun's temperature at its core is 14 million Kelvin.
5. It takes up to 50 million years for the energy produced at the core of the Sun to reach its surface. If the Sun were to stop producing energy today, it would take 50 million years for significant effects to be felt at Earth.
6. The diameter of Sun is equivalent to the diameter of 109 earths.
7. If the Sun were the size of a beach ball then Jupiter would be the size of a golf ball and the Earth would be as small as a pea.
