The average size of a sun is 695,700 km. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process.The solar interior includes the core, radiative zone and convective zone. The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun. The solar atmosphere includes the chromosphere and corona. The inner core of the Sun is the hottest part. The sun is made up of 75% hydrogen and 25% helium. The Sun is all colors mixed together, this appears white to your eyes. ]]> 2016-12-25 18:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/797781/1p23wxwclq96/wish/144782832 797781 https://padlet.com/797781/1p23wxwclq96/wish/144782837 Mercury is the smallest and innermost  planet in the solar system.
