Secrets of Our Sun: What We Know So Far

The Sun is a fascinating and awe-inspiring object that has captivated humans for centuries. It is the closest star to Earth and is vital for life on our planet. But what do we really know about the Sun?

In this video, we take a comprehensive journey into the science of the Sun, exploring what we currently understand about its inner workings, dynamic nature, and crucial role in our solar system. From the sunspots that dot its surface to the powerful solar flares that can impact our technology, we delve into the mysteries of our star.

Through stunning visuals and engaging narration, we'll learn about the various tools and techniques scientists use to study the Sun and the insights they've gained over the years. We'll also explore the importance of the Sun for life on Earth, including how it powers the food chain and drives our planet's climate.

Whether you're a science enthusiast, a student, or simply someone who's curious about the world around you, this video will provide you with a comprehensive overview of what we currently know about the Sun and the exciting discoveries that lie ahead as we continue to explore and study our star.

Thank you for an interesting video. Love your videos.

Great video. I'll be playing this for my high school freshman physical science class. Thanks for making my job easier!

This is absolutely Wonderful video. This deserves an AWARD.
GOD BLESS YOU SIR

What an amazing universe we have.
Just here in our solar system, there is so much yet to know.
Some nights i go out, under my telescope just to stare at whatever i can see to be overawed by. Other nights i do a bit of "work" on Astronomical League programs.
Then on those too frequent nights when there are too many clouds, im learning physics on this channel to better understand it all.
Amazing, incredible, fantastic, and any other inadequate adjective.
A little like Socrates, the more we know, the more we know that we dont know.

Doubt everything? Especially doubters!

Reminds me of the song "My Name is Human: - Highly Suspect.

Guess we don't have to be too worried about the sun exploding in our life times

[JamesKaragiannis]

So confused, He says our sun will undergo a supernova explosion at 1:54. Our sun will not undergo a supernova explosion. It would need to be at least 8 times as massive to supernova. I have no clue how he made this mistake and it went into the video. Otherwise Jason is an absolutely excellent tutor and his videos are excellent and inspiring. I guess everybody makes mistakes, lol.

Sun's photosphere density = 3 x 10^-7 g/cc 😛
Meaning it's thinner than air on earth.
Note that the cloud on earth we see in the sky is not gas or plasma, it's ice particles.
So, can such thin gas+plasma shows magma like activity?

Look up Rayleigh–Bénard convection.
Benard cells, which look exactly like what Sun's photosphere granules are,
require surface tension, which means the Photosphere is not vacuum thin, it's liquid.

Yes, the Sun is liquid, so is Jupiter.

[ggtgp]

The sun surface is not a gas, it is liquid metallic hydrogen as pointed out in many videos by Sky Scholar.
Otherwise a nice video.

so if a red dwarf is the next phase, than why want to go to alpha centauri as that is allready a red dwarf star, sso than earthlike planet wil be gone sooner than earth.

This is not science! This is a more of a stupid explanation and an old believe system... And it's also totally wrong! Please, stop this nonsense and keep doing what you are really good at!

All you smart people out there lol just so you know there's a ton of claims that can be mathematically and scientifically proven in this video. That doesn't mean everything stated in this video is true. It's theories, stated as truth. Nobody truly knows because they did NOT experience it. It's crazy how we have such smart people that take things at face value. No discernment. Just openly deceived. Things are not what they seem in all facets of life. Just think about it.
