cross-country

On the 23 of May 2012, Gladstone school held the annual kids cross- country.In our grade hunter came 1st, Jack 2nd, Angus 3rd, cully comes in 4th and Charlie 5th. THe year fives, their track was 1.6km long it seemed long but wasn’t. There was heaps of supporters when we ran around the track "GO CHARLIE" They were shouting!!! At the last

the sun lies at the centre of our solar system, a fiercely hot ball of gas nearly 1.4 million kilometers wide.Its appearance changes all the time;prominences leap from the sun into space, and dark spots appear on its surface. since its birth, some 4.6 billion years ago. the sun has been the power stations for the earth and the planets, providing them with their light and heat. the sources of the suns energy lies deep inside its centre,where the nuclear reaction that keep it shinning take place.

Stars are like people, they are born, live for a while and finally die.our sun is an average star in size and brightness.It has now reached middle age, but in another 5 billion years or so It will have used up all its hydrogen fuel. then it will swell to as much as 100 times its present size and become a red giant.

as the sun is a star, it does not have a surface.It has layers of gases of different densities. most of the visible light of the sun comes from the photosphere,which is about 300-400 km (186-248 miles)thick.the next layer out is the chromosphere which is than the photosphere. The outer layer is called the corona. Since the sun is in a constantly volatile states, its layers are always subject to disturbance. Prominences and spectacular solar flares huge eruptions from the corona that extends outwards for tens of thousands of kilometers - are directly related to disturbances of the suns magnetic fields. sun spots are cooler areas on the suns surface, where the magnetic field has disturbed the passage of heat from the core to its photosphere.When sun spots are at a maximum,the sun also experiences large explosive eruptions called flares.these flares blast large numbers of charged particles into space.if these particles reach the earth they can cause disruptions in radio communications and the wonderful effects of the aurora borealis and aurora australis.

The sun is a magnificent giant star.
