How does the sun shine?

The Sun shines by turning hydrogen into helium in its core. This process is called nuclear fusion. Fusion happens when lighter elements are forced together to become heavier elements. When this happens, a tremendous amount of energy is created.

Why does the sun shine on Earth?

The Sun shines because it sends out energy in all directions as radiation. This radiation takes the form of light and heat. Almost the same amount of radiation leaves the Sun in all directions. It takes about eight minutes for the light from the Sun to travel to the Earth.

How many neutrinos does the sun produce per second?

1038 neutrinos
1.) A total of approximately ~1\% of the Sun’s energy is emitted in the form of these solar neutrinos. The Sun produces ~1038 neutrinos every second, carrying 4 × 1024 W of continuous power.

Where does the sun shine in the Philippines?

How much sunlight does the Philippines get?

There is an average of 2105 hours of sunlight per year (of a possible 4383) with an average of 5:45 of sunlight per day. It is sunny 48\% of daylight hours. The remaining 52\% of daylight hours are likely cloudy or with shade, haze or low sun intensity.
