Terebellum (Omega Sagittarii) | Facts, Information, History Definition The star emits more energy than our sun It is estimated to be around 7 1 times brighter than our sun Terebellum is closely matching our sun’s temperature Its average surface temperatures are estimated to be around 5 499 K Terebellum spins faster than our sun, with a rotational velocity of around 5 6 km 3 4 mi per second
How Big is the Sun? | Comparisons, What Is Bigger, Facts Inside the Sun, temperatures are unphatomable, especially at its core The Sun’s core temperature is estimated to be around 27 million degrees Fahrenheit 15 million degrees Celsius Is the Sun Getting Bigger? The Sun is getting both bigger and hotter, and this is because it continues to burn hydrogen into helium at its core
Canopus (α Carinae) | Facts, Information, History Definition Canopus is eight times more massive than our Sun and has expanded up to 71 times the Sun’s radius Canopus is more than 10 000 times brighter than our sun, and its enlarged photosphere has a temperature of around 7 000 K It is emitting X-rays, most likely from its corona
Red Giant Star | Facts, Information, History Definition A red giant star is a luminous giant star of low or intermediate mass in a late phase of stellar evolution Its outer atmosphere is inflated and tenuous making its radius several times larger than that of our Sun, and the surface temperature is usually around 5,000 K

What is the Sun Made of? | Space Questions - The Nine Planets The temperature in the sun’s corona reaches 3 5 million degrees Fahrenheit How Do We Know What the Sun Is Made Of? We’ve never been to the sun and if we had we would have died thousands of miles before we got there so how can we know the exact composition of the sun? The answer is the use of a technology known as spectroscopy
