We take a moment to introduce the star of our system… Our star: the one and only… Sun! Sun: I am a yellow dwarf star There are much bigger stars but they’re out so far I’m 4.6 billion years old In the prime of my life, if truth be told I could fit a million Earths in me Jupiter: Or a thousand Jupiters! Sun: My massive gravity Pulls on planets and asteroids, Comets and space debris I am the Sun The star of your solar system A nearly-perfect plasma sphere Made of hydrogen and helium Heating things up ‘round here! I am the Sun I see you out there, Earth At 150 million kilometers You’re not too cold or too hot Since you’re orbiting in the perfect spot Earth: She’s our life our energy Allows the food you humans eat Water, gas, vitamin D Though at night she’s hard to see I turn toward her at dawn Just don’t look at her too long Get those sunglasses, sleeves, hats, and Sunscreen on. Sun: Big solar flare coming out to you, You orbit me but I’m moving too 230 million years to go around Nearly 700 times the speed of sound Around the Milky Way, and I bring you with I bet you’ve never felt anything as hot as this My core’s 15 million Celsius And that’s hot but it’s in your interest Earth: I love you, Sun! Sun: See the light, feel the heat that you get from me That’s my nuclear fusion energy Without me there’s no life I’m a giant ball energy Sun (and planets): I am the Sun (The Sun!) The star of your solar system (you’re a star!) A nearly-perfect plasma sphere (so round!) Made of hydrogen and helium Heating things up ‘round here I am the Sun Copyright © 2023 Hopscotch
