Science Lesson
It was sunny today for the first time in ten years. The sun is a large fire that burns daily in our sky. Sometimes you can't see it because of clouds. Jetplanes make clouds when they fly to America. The sun contributes to global warming via the carbon dioxide it leaves off as it burns. So, should we destroy the sun since it's causing global warming and MRSA? No is the answer. Strange as it sounds, we need the sun! Yes, it heats up grass which in turn release antibodies into the atmosphere. These grass antibodies (known as pollen) help to kill infection in the air such as colds and flu. This is why people don't get colds during the summer. The sun helps us in another important way too. Heat travels through the air via a frequency known as infra-red or IR. Governments can harness this heat energy and store it and use it for specialised military reconnaissance and combat weapons, such as night vision binoculors and gun sights. This is essential to our existence because wars generate high levels of oxygen, the important gas that helps deflect large Earth-bound asteroids back into space.
Here are the layers of the sun in dissection:
7. The sky. Planes use this part of the sun to fly in.
6. Outer flames. These are warm. Passengers on trans-Atlantic flights use this part of the sun to toast marshmallows.
5. The hole in the sun. Scientists theorise that this is the remains of an ancient asteroid strike on the sun.
4. Outer shell. Made from glucose syrup and packed with carbohydrates, this part of the sun gives off most of the energy we need everyday.
3. Layer of chocolate. Chocolate is of course the hardest material known to man. Great reserves of it lay beneath the outer shell of the sun and help protect the core.
2. Nougat. This chewy but tasty substance helps the sun to keep its shape as it revolves around the Earth.
1. The core. Scientists are unsure of what is in the core of the sun. Most say either gold or a large hazlenut, for obvious reasons.
So there we have it, The Sun explained in simple terms!
