This is my explanation about: How does the sun impact us here on earth.

How do Stars in the Universe Impact us here on Earth?

I am going to explain to you about how the sun impacts us here on earth.

      The sun is a special star that is made up of a ball of gas. If you go close to the sun you will have to wear  sunglasses  or you will burn your eyes.
  
The sun is about  150 million km  from the earth. The sun looks much bigger than the other stars in the sky. This is because the sun is the star closest to earth.

When two hydrogen atoms crash together they form helium energy.We feel this heat on Earth.

The sun has layers just like an onion does. The sun moves through all the layers until it reaches the corona which is 1.1 million ∘c.

It takes one million years for the energy to travel  from the core of the sun to the corona ; and eight minutes to reach the Earth. Day becomes  night on the parts of earth that moves away from the sun.

What if were outside  during the day and the sky it suddenly turned dark? This can happen during a solar eclipse.Solar eclipses  takes place  when the moon passes in front of the sun.

The sun causes the weather on  earth. Sunlight warms the water in  lakes, ocean, river. The warm water rises and forms clouds that carry rain and snow and it is the water cycle. The sun’s warmth causes the water cycle.
