Virtual Tour of the Sun

The sun, inside, outside, and upside down. A virtual tour of the most prominent feature in our solar system. This site will give you a brief look at the sun, what it’s made of, why it creates light, what exactly solar wind is, and more. The stunning imagery and excellent quality videos to help you understand key points about the sun. Though the sun may seem like any ordinary star, it is one of the more complex things in the universe. It gives light and heat to entire planets. It provides many elements essential to life on Earth. This virtual trip through the sun takes about 20 minutes. You'll see flames on the Sun larger than ten earths, winds going 1000 mph, and you'll see how the earth eventually will be scorched by the dying Sun.
