The Sun is our star
Everybody knows that energy from the Sun heats and lights
the Earth, but did you know that:
l Ancient Mayans, Egyptians and other cultures
worshipped the Sun.
l In just 1 second, the Sun makes enough energy to
power the whole United States for 90,000 years.
l Light gets from the Sun to Earth in just 8 minutes.
l If you drove a car at 100 miles per hour to the Sun, it
would take you only 100 years to get there.
