[Robert Bruce]

Did You Know:

Fact: The Sun loses up to a billion kilograms a second due to solar winds

Solar winds are charged particles that are ejected from the upper surface of the sun due to the high temperature of the corona and the high kinetic energy particles gain through a process that is not well understood at this time.

Also, did you know that 1 pinhead of the sun's energy is enough to kill a person at a distance of 160 kilometers?
