discoveries the core rotates faster than the outside and some activity varies in intensity. this is even more news from space at the greenbank observatory astronomers are listening in on faraway galaxies. the sun is nearly one hundred fifty million kilometers away from the earth its night takes more than eight minutes to reach us but only a part of it gets through the atmosphere to the surface of our planet that's good because that's what's enabled life to develop in the he's at the sun makes mostly evaporate clouds form it rains plants grow thanks to the sunlight which triggers photosynthesis that produces much of the oxygen recruits and food for humans and other animals. sunlight causes our bodies to form vitamin d.

. just some is the source of life a fiery ball with the fast spinning cool. around four and a half billion years ago our solar system developed out of a rotating cloud of gas and dust. a huge fireball appeared at the center our star the sun. the planets of continue to rotate around it to this day but what about the sun itself does it stand still. galileo was the first to observe dark spots on the sun surface back in merely seventeenth century with the help of a so-called hellyeah scope he was able to project the sun spots on the paper and mark that position. it was clear that the sun spots were moving indicating that the sun was rotating today such observations are made around the clock using data

provided by satellites the sun rotates on its axis every twenty five days at its a quatre at the poles one rotation takes thirty five days so the surface of this fiery mass is actually moving at different speeds. and what about the sun's. it's completely hidden from view does it also rotate. last year that question was finally answered definitively. an international team of scientists managed to measure with high precision the rate at which the sun's core rotates. and they discovered that it actually moves much faster than the surface. they found out that. the rotation of the core of the sun. is significantly faster

than in the rest of the radiator. by a factor of three to four. however scientists able to look inside the sun to find out what was happening. long as a helio seismologist he and his team at the max planck institute for solar system research study the oscillations on the surface of the sun these reveal a lot about the sun structure and dynamics. sound waves are produced which typically oscillate for a period of about five minutes. if we could hear in space we would discover that the sun is in fact incredibly noisy. the sun makes sound. near the surface excites. which you're looking at here is. presents the motion inside the sun that are associated with
