Help Site Map Visit related sites from: Family Education Network Encyclopedia sun, in astronomy General Characteristics of the Sun The sun is actually a star of about medium size; it appears larger than the other stars because of its relative nearness to the earth. The earth's distance from the sun varies from 91,377,000 mi (147,053,000 km) at perihelion to 94,537,000 mi (152,138,000 km) at aphelion (see apsis ). The mean distance is c.92,960,000 mi (149,591,000 km); this is taken as the astronomical unit (A.U.) of distance used for measuring distances within the solar system. The sun is approximately 865,400 mi (1,392,000 km) in diameter, and its volume is about 1,300,000 times that of the earth. Its mass is almost 700 times the total mass of all the bodies in the solar system and 332,000 times that of the earth. The sun's surface gravity is almost 28 times that of the earth; i.e., a body on the surface of the sun would weigh about 28 times its weight on earth. The density of the material composing the sun is about one fourth that of the earth; compared with water, the sun's average density is 1.41. At its center, the sun has a density of over 100 times that of water, a temperature of 10 to 20 million degrees Celsius, and a pressure of over 1 billion atmospheres.

Topics covered include: Identification of Stars Identification of Other Space Objects Classification of Stars Classification of Galaxies ... Astronomical Terms Identification of Stars Stars are indentified in many ways. One way, devised by Johann Bayer, uses Greek letters and the Latin root of the name of the constellation. The first of the Greek letters are usually given to the brightest stars, but in some constellations, they are not. Name Bayer System Flamsteed System SAO Numbers Sirius a Canis Majoris 9 Canis Majoris SAO Rigel b Orionis 19 Orionis SAO Naos z Puppis SAO Identification of Other Space Objects Stars are not the only things in the sky that need identification. Nebulae, clusters, and galaxies also need to be called something. One method is the Messier system, devised by Messier. This list has an interesting history. Messier was a comet hunter, and during his searches, he found many objects that he thought lookes like comets, but weren't. He created this list as a reference for other comet hunters so that if they found that object, they would know it wasn't a comet, and was already discovered. He gave each object a number, and each is now referred to as that number with a capital "M" in front of it (see table below).
