[size=20]2.[/size]The sun rotates

No No not like an average planet out there, but yes the Sun rotates too..

The sun is a ball of Gas and so is not expected to rotate like most planets that are most times solid.

It rotates at different intervals on distinct latitudinal lines across it... Faster on the equator and slower at the poles..

Scientists erroneously used to believe that the sun was stationary, we were taught this in secondary school. But guess what, Allah SWT stated this in the Quran 1400 yrs ago the sun was never stationary cool

What you were taught in the secondary school was exactly what is in your curriculum and not what is up to date with scientific findings and please don't bring religious brouhaha into this... You can take that to the Religion section

Which instrument was used to measure them, mostly the Canis or UY Skuti to determine their size and how many miles they are far from earth?

This are just fables, tales by moonlight just to continue thier ideology that God doesn't exist.

Why is that all Astrology/Astronomy practice atheism?

These are what they use to continue holding them in bondage, was on the edge of. Believing them but thank God for his intervention

please can you kindly swerve out of this topic if you have nothing meaningful to contribute.

Am not sure because in the Subatomic levels Quantum behaviours are still so spooky to us that it contradicts almost all the natural laws observable in this macro level

oh well I'll leave it there. It appears I'm outdated when it comes to quantum physics. I'm an agric graduate though. Thanks for the info. I'll do further research.

The sun is constantly spewing dangerous radiations and solar winds but do not worry, Just like every other planet with molten core they all possess a magnetic field that shields them from solar winds and extreme radiation... So don't worry about that you are ok

Hahahahaha you can say that.. it take ±250million of our own years for the sun to complete one revolution around the galaxy..

So you can put it like 1sun year = ±250million earth years grin

I doubt if humanity will survive to that period but i think there will still be some life forms in the planet by then and when it happens every life form on this planet will be fried by the extreme heat from the over-sized red giant.. Just imagine earth being exactly like Mercury
Humans are intelligent species! wink 5 billion years is more than enough time for humans to have discovered a habitable planet or create various technologies to force a particular planet to be habitable for them.

Re: 10 Facts About The Sun You Probably Didn't Know by impossible27(m): 5:41pm On Feb 14, 2016
Dat means d sun most have a very big orbit bigger than the earth which rounds it

Yeah my fingers are crossed on that..

We can start from Mars.. Melting Mars core with gain mars a magnetic field to protect it's naked barren world from solar winds and then minimize it's atmospheric loss.

then mars can be restored gradually

With the removal of hot and burning, the same could be said for Jupiter and other Gas Giants.

The sun orbits the milky way galactic center and the milky way is 100,000light years in diameter (9trillion × 100,000) and the sun is 27,000 light years from the galactic center so it takes a whole lot of time to orbit such distance.. we are all orbiting the galactic center with the sun

That's a step! Terraforming is the way.
