The Sun is the closest star to Earth. It provides heat and light which makes life on Earth possible. Sun shows students what this center of our solar system is all about - how big it is, what it’s made of, how old it is and how long we believe it will continue to burn. Students will examine the individual layers of the Sun and learn about solar activity, including sunspots, solar flares and prominences.
