Amazing Sun Facts Sun-big

Our sun has an expected lifetime of about 11 billion years.



Our sun and the surrounding planets orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 250 million years.



Only 55% of all Americans know that the sun is a star.



On its trip around the sun, the earth travels over a million and a half miles per day.



No solar eclipse can last longer than 7 minutes 58 seconds because of the speed at which the sun moves.



Lightning bolts can sometimes be hotter than the sun. (about 50 000º F)



It takes only 8 minutes for sunlight to travel from the sun to the earth, which also means, if you see the sun go out, it actually went out 8 minutes ago.



In Spit Bergen, Norway at one time of the year the sun shines continuously for three and a half months.



In Newport, Rhode Island it is illegal to smoke from a pipe after sunset.



In Devon, Connecticut, it is unlawful to walk backwards after sunset.



If the sun stopped shining suddenly, it would take eight minutes for people on earth to be aware of the fact.



For 186 days you can not see the sun in the North Pole.



Every eleven years the magnetic poles of the sun switch. This cycle is called"Solarmax".



Because of the speed at which the sun moves, it is impossible for a solar eclipse to last more than 7 minutes and 58 seconds.



Aztecs believed that the sun died every night and needed human blood to give it strength to rise the next day. So they sacrificed 15,000 men a year to appease their sun god, Huitzilopochtli. Most of the victims were prisoners taken in wars, which were sometimes started solely to round up sacrificial victims.
