Everybody knows that energy from the Sun heats and lights the Earth, but did you know that:
lThe ancient Mayan, Egyptian, and other cultures worshipped the Sun.
lWe measure time by the Sun. Remember it takes 365 days or 1 year  for the Earth to go around the Sun.
lIf you drove a car at 100 miles per hour to the Sun, it would take you more than 100 years to get there.
lIn just 1 second, the Sun makes enough energy to power the whole United States for 90,000 years.
