¤ Unlike earth Sun has tens of millions of magnetic poles.

¤ The sun is not a solid object, it is plasma and it rotates faster at equator than at its poles(Poles of a Sphere).

¤ Sun’s energy is from nuclear fusion and for this, Sun fuses around 620 million metric tons of hydrogen per second!!!

¤ The light from Sun takes around 7 hours to reach the edge of our solar system.

¤ Each 11 years Sun changes its overall magnetic polarity, this
causes some unusual activities on the Sun and Sun reaches its solar maximum. Solar maximum is the period when the Sun’s
activity reaches its maximum.
