The Sun
Object 'The Sun' belongs to the 'Outer Space' theme.Connection to Planet Earth:
The Sun's gravitational pull sets the Earth in orbit. In addition, radiation from the Sun is responsible for virtually all the usable energy on Earth, directly or indirectly. Without the Sun's warming rays, Earth would be a cold, lifeless ball of stone.
Connection to The Milky Way:The Sun is one of many stars within the Milky Way galaxy. Just as the Earth orbits the Sun, the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, making one complete trip per "cosmic year" (by definition).
Connection to The Moon:From the perspective of the Earth, the Sun and the Moon interact at regular intervals to create eclipses.
Connection to Mercury:Of all the Sun's satellites, Mercury is the closest.
Connection to Venus:Venus is the second planet from The Sun.
Connection to Mars:Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.
Connection to Jupiter:Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, and also the largest (by far) of all the planets in the solar system.
Connection to Saturn:Saturn is the sixth planet from, and the second largest of all planets orbiting, The Sun.
Connection to Uranus:Uranus is the seventh farthest planet from The Sun. It's the only planet orbiting The Sun on its side.
