The Chemistry of The

Sun

History

Well, the Sun has been around for billions of years

so instead here is a little chain of events that
led to the realization that the Sun is a star.
It all started with my man Anaxagoras, this
guy
told everybody that the Sun is a star. But the Greeks
went all Apollo on him and sent him to jail.
One after another, geniuses getting shut down (by
the Church really) on their (logical) explanations.
Until a man by the name of, you guessed it, Galileo
Galilei used a telescopes and said, (paraphrasing)
Questo non un pianeta che voi ragazzi...,
This isnt a planet you guys... He was later
convicted of Heresy andwas put under
house
arrest for the rest of his life.

History
Things are really going to start to heat up now

Johannes Keplar made up some Laws of planetary

motion to put the sun in the center of our solar
system.
Christiaan Huygens was like hey guys, Sirius (The
Suns best friend) is just like the Sun except just
really far away! And people listened to him
And now the moment weve all been waiting for,
the Man, the Legend, the Great FRIEDRICH
BESSEL!!! This man determined that other stars
are just as bright and hot as the Sun thus, *get
ready*

The Sun is a Star

Not him

History

Based on the last slides, the times were

very far apart, however the church was
quite the factor dont you think?
Societal need to figure it out? Why were
there so many people trying to figure out
the nature of the Sun? Other than maybe
trying to harness its power and rule the
world and/or gain fame, thats a tough
question.
The Sun is the arguably the most Natural
thing in our whole entire Solar System.

Chemical Composition
Alright so I am made up of:
My active ingredients is the
Hydrogen. But later, when I
want to blow up Ill use my
helium and BOOM.
I am composed of only simple elements so
there is no structure or chemical names. Like I
said Im all natural.
I am healthy for you in moderation.
However, I can cause skin cancer.
I am great for the environment, however
once again in moderation.

Chemical Composition
The Sun is really just a ball of
hydrogen.
As soon as it runs out of hydrogen it
will have to use helium.
When that happens it will rapidly
expand and engulf the first 2/3
planets
Then it will implode on itself.

Use and Societal Impact

I feel very used. I never even get a thank
you.

We use the sun for many different things.

Such as energy, via solar panels
To get tan, via the UV rays it gives off
To heat ourselves
To Cook food

Use and Societal Impact

So this is how it all goes down.

Step 1: Take two hydrogen (moving at high velocity)
Step 2: Smash them together (Fusion)
Step 3: BOOOOOM = energy + helium
(not an actual equation but it gets the point across)

The sun plays a role on everything you can think

of. Without the sun there would be nothing.
The Earth would be a ball of Ice and Darkness.

Some Selfies
DEFAULT!

^I was really mad^

Love me for who I

am on the inside

Creativity
We should make a thermostat for the sun.
We should be able to use it as a weapon.
We should be able to harness the suns energy to
create WMDs I mean what
We should have it last forever happy Gio?
It should double up as a disco ball.

Other Relevant
Information
The Sun has about 6billion more
years to live before it implodes.
The Sun will become a Red Giant
