Imagine landing on the Sun! It sounds exciting, but the Sun is not like any place on Earth. Let’s explore what would really happen if we tried to land on the Sun’s surface.
- Extreme Heat: The Sun is super hot, with temperatures reaching around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,500 degrees Celsius).
- No Solid Surface: The Sun doesn’t have a solid surface like Earth; it’s mostly made of gases. You wouldn’t find a place to stand.
- Strong Gravity: The Sun has a lot of gravity, which is much stronger than Earth’s. You would feel very heavy and could be pulled in quickly.
- Radiation: The Sun gives off dangerous radiation that can harm our bodies. It’s not safe to be close to the Sun without special protection.
- Bright Light: The Sun is extremely bright, much brighter than anything on Earth. Looking at it directly can hurt your eyes.

Concept of Gravity
Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass toward one another, giving weight to physical objects and causing planets to orbit stars.
Why Earth Revolve Around the Sun?
Earth revolves around the Sun due to the Sun’s gravitational pull, balanced by Earth’s inertia, maintaining its elliptical orbit in space.
What is a planet?
A planet is a large celestial body that orbits a star, is spherical due to gravity, and has cleared its orbit of other debris.
