The Solar System Moves 7 Billion Kilometres a Year, But The North Star Is Always Due North - Why Is That?

In our universe, whether as large as a galaxy or as small as an electron, we are always in motion, and even when we think we are sitting motionless in our chairs, the earth is carrying us around the sun at a speed of about 30 kilometres per second, and the sun is also in motion, in fact it is carrying the entire solar system around the centre of the milky way, and at a speed of about 220 kilometres per second.

Will Jupiter, The 'King Of The Planets' In Our Solar System, Become a Star In The Future?

After the sun evolves into a red giant, the hydrogen in its core is almost completely fused into helium, so the nuclear fusion inside the sun stops, after which the sun loses its internal radiation pressure and continues to collapse, leading to a constant increase in temperature and pressure in its core, while the helium in the central region of the sun is gradually compressed into the condensed state.

Mercury Has Set Seven Solar System Bests, Other Than Being The Closest To The Sun

Because Mercury does not have an atmosphere to play a role in insulation, so the temperature of the back side of Mercury can be as low as minus 172 degrees Celsius, and because of the proximity of the sun, the temperature of the sunny side of Mercury will soar to 432 degrees Celsius under the baking of the sun, so it can be seen that Mercury is simply a realistic version of the "world of ice and fire"
