Our Sun is huge, many thousands of times bigger than Earth. Because it is so big it has very powerful Gravity. It is the Sun's Gravity
that keeps the Earth and all the planets from flying off into space! The first person to discover gravity is Isaac Newton. He discovered gravity when he dropped an apple from a tree. In space there is no
gravity because there is no gravitational pull from a planet.
Did you know that if you were on Jupiter you’d be nearly 2.5

The sun looks yellow
because the Earth's
atmosphere makes
its colour change slightly. The sun
actually looks whiter from
space because its surface is
5727 degrees Celsius.
