☀️ Sun Facts for Kids ☀️

Your students may be learning about the different objects in the sky, such as the moon, stars and the sun. The sun is one of the most fascinating celestial objects in our solar system and is responsible for providing us with light and heat. If you are wanting to share some fun facts about the sun with your students, read on for a quick list! 

  1. The sun is a star, and it is the closest star to Earth.
  2. The sun is so big you could fit over a million Earths inside it!
  3. The sun is incredibly hot, with temperatures reaching over 15 million degrees Celsius at its core.
  4. The sun is about 4.6 billion years old and is expected to continue burning for another 5 billion years.
  5. The sun’s gravity is so strong that it keeps all the planets in our solar system orbiting around it.
  6. The sun’s light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth.
  7. The sun is not solid, but it is made up of hot, glowing gas.

🪐 Use Our Sun Template During Your Solar System Unit!

As students begin to learn about the world around them, they will observe, illustrate and write about different celestial objects in the sky. Teach Starter has created a printable template of the sun that your students can use to list information about the sun. Students simply write facts on each of the sun’s rays and glue them to a piece of paper in the shape of a sun. Teachers can then choose to hang the finished projects on a classroom display.

Download & Print 

To download this resource, simply choose between the PDF or editable Google Slides versions. Teachers can choose how many sun fact rays to give to each student.
