The Sun is a massive object. To put it into perspective, about one million Earths could fit inside it&hellip; Another fun fact is that if space could carry sound waves, the Sun would be as loud as a jackhammer! Even from the distance of 93 million miles!
Hello all and welcome back to another post in my astrophysics series! Today&rsquo;s topic will be focused on using the equation for gravitational force to calculate the mass of the Sun.</description>
<description>The Basics of Calculating Density of Matter The average density of the Solar System is about 1 billion times smaller then the Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere.
The above statement puts into perspective the unique nature of space and the universe: It&rsquo;s mostly empty, a vacuum. The Solar System, which includes all the planets, asteroids, and the Sun, which has a mass of roughly 2.0 x $10^{30}$ kilograms, is a very expansive place that stretches far into space until it reaches the Interstellar Medium.</description>
<description>Hello everyone and welcome to the starting point of my astronomy and astrophysics series! Space is something I am very passionate about and I&rsquo;m very excited to giude you through some basic steps of learning about our universe in a scientific way. This post will simply outline some of the material I will cover in this series.
<description>Welcome one and all! Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog! I hope once it&rsquo;s all up and running you&rsquo;ll come by to read!
Who I am: My name is Nathaniel Moll and currently I&rsquo;m a biochemistry and physics student at Liberty University. I started this blog to communicate my ideas in a valuable way and to make my readers think about a wide range of topics, including but perhaps limited to:</description>
