Science Fact #1 (The Stars Above)

Image result for alpha centauri compared to the sun                 The sun is the star located in the middle of our solar system, it is made out of pure plasma with a shape of an almost perfect sphere available in nature. it is about 150 million km away from the Earth (Our home), with a radius of  700 km, and a temperature of at the very least 5 777 Kelvin. this may seem big for us, but to our sun, this it is nothing compared to what the universe has in it's sleeve, for many more star is far greater and superior compared to our beloved sun. lets talk about our neighboring star the closest star that we have, The Alpha Centauri, with an approximate distance from us as close as 4.3 light years away (Take note that 1 light year means that a thing that has the same amount of the speed of light takes around 1 year to reach), in the illustration above we can see that even our neighboring star has a bigger size to us, even though centauri B is a bit smaller. well that is all for my first science fact hope that this helps or something, have a great day, and if for some reason you already knew this, than good job.
