The Sun is the nearest star to Earth.
After that, the nearest one that we know about is called Proxima Centauri. (Actually, on average, alpha Centauri A, alpha Centauri B, and alpha Centauri C - Proxima - are the same distance, but Proxima can at times be slightly closer than the other two).
It's considered at least possible (that is, papers have been published in serious astronomical journals about the possibility) that the Sun may have a very faint red or brown dwarf companion at a distance of perhaps a tenth of a light year, which has so far escaped detection.
'White' , because it reflects the sun .
Also wear cotton clothes that have been starched. The Cotton allows for absorption of any perspiration and the starching stiffens the cloth to allow it to stand off the skin and allow air to circulate between the cloth and the skin.
'Stay cool; Man!!!!
With an ANALOGUE watch, wait till the watch reaches the hour. , say 3;00pm.
At 3:00pm point the minute finger to the Sun. The due South is halfway between the '3' and '12' . On an analogue watch that would be halfway between '1' & '2'.
Hence north would be between '7' & '8'. East, between '10' & '11' and West between '4' & '5'.
NB This is Boy Scout stuff !!!!!
Sun chips, sunny d, sunflower seeds, sun maid raisins...can anyone think of more?
the theory jim comes up with regarding the origin of the stars is that the moon laid them and that the shooting stars got spoiled and was "moved out of the nest." I found it on page 177 top paragraph of my book.
These lines are from the poem "The Tyger" by William Blake, not "The Clod and the Pebble." The poem explores the duality of creation and the existence of good and evil in the world through the imagery of a tiger.
Asagai's nickname, which means "spear" in Yoruba, reflects his proud Nigerian heritage and his role as a symbol of resistance and perseverance. It represents his strength, determination, and ability to cut through obstacles to fight for what he believes in.
Asagai translates Alaiyo as One for whom bread- food- is not enough. I think he is referencing her desire to learn, and more specifically her interest in her African roots.
his name also meen peace become the butt
In the book "Number the Stars," Annemarie demonstrates bravery by helping her Jewish friend Ellen escape from the Nazis in Denmark during World War II. She risks her own safety to protect Ellen and her family, showing courage and resilience in the face of danger.
When the sun rises, its warmth causes the dew on surfaces to evaporate. This process is known as evaporation, where the liquid water from the dew turns into water vapor and is released into the atmosphere.
Hanging a person before sunrise in Pakistan is done to comply with Islamic traditions, which dictate that executions should take place before the morning prayer. It is believed that carrying out the punishment during this time brings blessings and fulfills religious guidelines.
On April 15, 2012, the sun rose in Tampa, FL at 7:04 AM and set at 7:55 PM.
In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, the blue trunk contains a special handkerchief with a hidden message to guide the characters on their journey to safety during World War II. The trunk represents hope, courage, and the importance of friendship in times of adversity.
The time of sunrise in Boston, MA varies throughout the year. On average, the sun rises around 6:30-7:00 am Eastern Time.
Sunset occurs when the top edge of the sun disappears below the horizon. The moment when the bottom of the sun touches the horizon is known as "solar immersion."
When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, it is called solar noon. This is when the sun is directly overhead or closest to being directly overhead at that particular location.
The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question. Please re-post your question with the date and the city name or ZIP code. If you add the WikiAnswers category "Sunset Times", I'll see it.
You can calculate the time of sunrise and sunset easily by visiting the United States Naval Observatory web site's Sunrise & Sunset calculator. You will need the date, city and state for US locations, or the date, latitude, longitude and time zone for any other locations in the world.

The SUN does NOT BURN gas.
It is a FUSION of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
A White Dwarf star starts as a small to intermediate size star,
like our Sun is currently. That eventually becomes a red giant
star. Eventually that blows off everything but the hot very dense
core of "electron degenerate matter". What is left is a hot ball of
mainly carbon and oxygen that will eventually cool and dim and turn
into a black dwarf star.
A white dwarf has a second chance of life and death in a close
binary star system, where the white dwarf draws mass from the
companion star. Once the mass of the white dwarf reaches the
Chandrasekhar limit of approximately 1.38 solar masses or roughly
140% of the mass of our Sun, the core can no longer hold the
gravitational pressure and a Type 1a Supernova may occur.
A Red Dwarf star is a " Main Sequence " star, but with very low
mass and
luminosity. You need a telescope to see one. However, they make
up about
80% of all stars and they have very long lifetimes.
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon is in between the sun and earth .
So because the sun is the center of the solar system and is not supposed to move in it the earth and moon's movement causes the eclipse
NO!!!! THey move. However, because they are so far away , we do not readily observe any movement amongstr the stars. Objects nearer toi Earth Like the Sun and planets, moons, etc., are seen to move because they7 are nearer .
UY Scuti
The biggest known star is UY Scuti, about 1,700 times larger than the sun.
As in realestate : location, location, location.
all stars are not all the same (blue giants, red giants, red dwarfs), however the sun is a star. it just appears bigger in the sky because it is way, way, way closer than all other stars.
