Sun ...Drops

The Sun is a ball of hot gases. The Sun's temperature is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface and 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the center. Now thats hot! It takes light eight and a half minutes to travel from the Sun to the Earth.
The Sun gives us heat, light, our food, and the air that we breathe. It powers the atmosphere to give us the winds and rain. Even the coal and oil that generate electricity for light and power come from plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago and depended on the Sun for life.

The Sun heats the land, oceans, and air. It evaporates water from lakes and oceans. When the water vapor cools, it drops as rain or snow, giving us the moisture we need for drinking water and for plants and animals to grow. Oh yes, it also helps to display Orchid Glass Arts' stained glass!
