We do not know the fury of the sun because we are on earth which is nearly 150 million km away. The only sun that we knew was a yellow sphere. But, if you want to see the real sun with constant explosion read this article completely. If you read this article entirely you will come to know almost everything regarding the sun like the birth of the sun, the power of the sun, how the sun can release energy constantly and the death of the sun, etc. So, let's rise!
BIRTH OF THE SUN:
The below image shows the Nebula which is formed of hydrogen, helium and dust. This nebula is the factory for making stars. In these many stars like our un are made off. Gases and dust from this nebula will come closer and create a whirlpool Because of its gravitational force some more gases from the nebula will come very closer and as a result temperature at that place will increase exponentially. This whole process takes nearly 5,00,000 years and as a result, a sphere will be created at the centre called a star. Now, this star has a lot of energy, gravitational force, heat and density. In the same process, our Sun has made and our sun was created before 4,60,00,00,000 years. After the formation of our sun, all the planet and natural satellites have made.
ABOUT SUN:
The diameter of the sun is nearly 14,00,000 km and we can fill 10,00,000 planets like our earth. 99.86% mass of our solar system was our sun and all remaining planets, comets, satellites mass is 0.14% only. Now you can imagine how big our sun is. Our sun has 91% of hydrogen and 8.9% of helium and 0.1 %other gases. All these gases will present in the state of plasma.
There will be many layers in the sun and the centre one is known as the core. The temperature at this core will be nearly 2,70,00,000° Fahrenheit. Because of this heat and gravitational force at core 4 hydrogen atoms will form a helium atom by nuclear fission. The mass of this helium atom formed from this process is less than 4 hydrogen atoms. So some mass is missing and the missing mass will form as energy and will release as radiation and light (photons).
For every second 70,00,00,000 tonnes of hydrogen will undergo nuclear fission and form 69.50,00,000 tonnes of helium. The remaining 50,00,000 tonnes will be energy. This data is only for a single second then imagine for a day and for a year. As same energy was releasing from 4,60,00,00,000 years.
The sound of nuclear fission in the core and constant explosions on the surface of the sun will be very dangerous. We are not able to hear those sounds because there is no air in between the sun and the earth. If you want to know how dangerous the sound it will be at a range of 125 decibels which is like hearing of train horn from 1 meter even the sun is 14,96,00,000 km from earth.
An interesting thing was it takes 1,70,000 years for light photons to travel from the sun's core to the surface and it takes 8 minutes & 20 seconds to travel from the sun' surface to earth which is 14,96,00,000 km. Because when the photons released from the sun core they will travel to the solar surface with a speed of 3,00,000 km/s but they will collide with atoms inside the sun and change their direction so it continuously collides with atoms and then reaches the surface after nearly 1,70,000 years. It means that the light which we are seeing now is produced 1,70,000 years before in the core of the sun.
SOLAR WINDS:
There will be continuous explosions in the sun and there are very powerful magnetic fields around the sun. These magnetic fields will make plasma rise lakhs of kilometres up and down. There will be sunspots in the sun as shown below the image. The sun's magnetic fields will rise from one sunspot to another and they will also make plasma rise up. These are called Solar winds. They will rise at a speed of 20,00,000 km/hr. Sometimes few very powerful solar winds will reach earth and this is called " Coronal Mass Ejection " or CME. These billions of tonnes of plasma will be in the form of electrically charged particles. If it reaches our earth our earth magnetic field will scatter. In the year 1859 and 1989 solar winds have reached our earth and according to NASA there is a 12% chance of these solar winds may reach earth. If it reaches there will be 2 trillion dollars of loss and all the satellites we made will destroy and astronauts in space will effect by radiation. But we don't know the exact date on when it reaches our earth. NASA launched a spacecraft named " Parker Solar Probe " to know about this solar wind and to explore more about our sun. It will reach very close to the sun nearly 60,00,000km away from the sun. It will alert us of these kinds of problems before. There will be 5500° celsius on the surface of the sun but there will be a layer named Corona which is 8,00,000 km away from the surface of the sun and the temperature at this corona will be 5,00,000° celsius. Scientist can't explain how the temperature was more at this corona. This parker probe is also going to find the reason behind it. NASA arranged a Hitech shield for it so that it can even survive from those dangerous heat.
POWER OF SUN:
If we want to see the real power of the sun we can see it only on a solar eclipse day. Don't see the sun directly on solar eclipse day as it may completely make you blind. We can see the corona and energy released from the sun only when the moon completely closes the sun. To make the research corona and energy, scientists are keeping a disk in front of the camera to make a temporary eclipse. You may have a doubt that the sun must blast because this much energy was releasing from the sun. The sun was stable because the sun tries to expand as the energy releases from the sun but the gravity of the sun tries to keep the sun in the same position. So, two equal forces are acting with equal magnitude and the sun was stable.
DEATH OF SUN:
The sun was burning constantly for 4,60,00,00,000 years and after 5,00,00,00,000 years the hydrogen in the sun will complete and results in the mass decrease of the sun and now the gravity of sun also decreases. Now as gravity decreases the sun will expand and will become a Red Giant Star. Now, as the sun expands slowing planets in the solar system will get mixed into the sun and the planets which are far away from the sun like Neptune, Saturn will scatter as there is no much gravity of sun to hold them. Now, nuclear fission will stop in the sun and all the layers of the sun will get mixed into the universe leaving the core. This core is called "White Dwarf". This will become very cool slowly and will get mixed in the darkness of the universe. Here ends the life of the Sun. We all are depending on the sun so many countries in ancient times like Roman India and Egypt Believed the sun as their god.
