twentytwotons secrets of sclonoo number three by david diet the sun wojearn from astronomy is not the lordly monarch of the skies that it appears to be it only appears so to us because this earth of ours is so very much closer to the sun than it is to any of i the stars many of the stars which appear to i us as mere plnpolnts of light are any- where from 50 to 500 times larger than the sun 1 the reason for the difference in ap- j pearance to us is that the sun is 93- 000000 miles from ub while the dis tance to the nearest star is 25000 bil lions of miles everyone now with the exception of vollva and his followers believes that the earth and the seven other planets circle around the sun this belief is stated today as a matter of fact it is accordingly interesting to note that it once took a great deal of cour age to proclaim that fact it was an extremely dangerous thing to do in the year 1600 the astronomer giordano bruno was burned at the stake for daring to say that ths earth was not the centre of the universe but that it revolved around the sun in 1616 galileo was thrown into prison for making the same assertion the sun as has been said is rather small fry compared to some of the stars but theres nothing small about the sun in comparison to the earth the diameter of the earth is about soo0 miles the diameter of the sun is more than 100 times that or 866000 miles in bulk the sun is 1300000 times the 6ize of the earth the sun is a great seething furnace of a temperature beyond human un derstanding its surface is a whitehot boiling sea of vapors if the earth was
