It is also the most influential element to our planets outer atmosphere. Not only is our Sun the most extraordinarily powerful influence in our history, it is simply incredible when its energy abounds.It is a constantly active, magnetic and powerful. It is actually one massive hydrogen bomb! The Sun's Corona blasts out into space for millions of kilometers. The heat that reaches us travels at the speed of light, and is termed as infrared radiation. It only takes about eight minutes to travel about 150 million kilometers to Earth. The Suns dependable solar winds deliver it's energy throughout our solar system every day!

Compared to Earth, the Sun is absolutely gigantic in size! However, it is only a baby in proportion to many more stars in the Universe. Astronomers have classified it as a typical dwarf star, measuring about 1.5 million kilometers across. To give a comparison, Antares is one of the largest known stars in the part of the Universe in which our Solar System belongs. It is about three hundred and thirty times the size of our Sun.
