All about the sun

-
Without the sun we wouldn’t be living and the solar system would be frozen. Today I will be telling you about it.

Structure and temperature

The suns temperature is pretty much the same as earths. There is the surface, the mantle and the core. The surface temperature is around 10,000 degrees Celsius and the core can reach the sweltering amount of over 20 MILLION!

Length

The mean radius of the sun is 696,000 kilometres and the diameter is 1,392,000 kilometres.

Lifespan

In about 5 billion years the sun will become a red giant. When this happens it will swallow Mercury, Venus and earth up whole! Eventually it will turn into a white dwarf and over a trillion years later the sun will end its live as a black dwarf. 

Did you know?

1. The sun is actually white!
2. You can fit over 1 million earths inside it!
3. It’s radiation could damage earth!

About me and my family

My name is Theertha and I am 8 years old. My little brother’s name is Chris and he is 3 months old. My favourite board games are scrabble (original) monopoly and snakes and ladders. I live in Craigieburn Australia and I live with my aunty, my dad, my mum, my little brother, (as previously mentioned) and my grandma. Sometimes my aunty comes to our house. I was born in Sri Lanka. It is a tiny island near India which had the same population as Australia. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. It was quite crowded in the tiny little country. My favourite foods are Domino’s oven baked chips and my mum’s cooking. When I grow up I want to have a part time job of being a blogger and I will have a trillion degrees. I also want to be the world’s richest person. I love to play with my little brother a lot. I like school I am in grade 3 & my favourite colour is golden. If you want to read about my trip to Great ocean a road then tap this link.

Human body cells

Hello, my blog viewers. Today we are going to learn about the tiny building blocks that make up us and other animals. Can you guess what it is? It’s cells! The cell is made out of different parts.  Let’s look at them now.  If you were shrunk to a  size that lets you fit through the cell and you found one, the first thing you would see is the cells outer shell. We call it the cell membrane. The cell membrane only lets specific things in. If you could somehow get in, you would see the different parts of the cell.  The different parts of the cell are called organelles. The organelles that you would see are the Nucleus, some Mitochondria, the Endoplasmic reticulum, some Lysosomes and the Golgi apparatus, but when you walk you will realise that there is one more part, and it is the most important. It’s the Cytoplasm! It provides a surface for the organelles to live on. Let’s learn more about the organelles.  The Nucleus decides and controls most of the functions going on in the cell

Black holes | Why are they so important? |

  Black holes are one of the marvels in the universe. There are so many of them and we barely know anything about them. In this article I’ll tell you about them.  If you don’t know what a black hole is black holes are  things that can suck up planets or even stars! There are different types. Supermassive, spinning or maybe just a normal one. Structure A black holes structure is quite unique. There are spinning black holes and non spinning black holes. There are also supermassive black holes. In normal black holes there is a disc around it called an accretion disc. Near that we have the event horizon. In the middle there is a single point with an infinitely small length but contains the entire mass of the black hole. For spinning black holes there’s a accretion disc and also an ergo sphere. An ergo sphere is the place where time is half broken but in the event horizon time is completely broken. For spinning black holes you can create a black hole bomb. But I’ll tell you about that anoth
