The sky is on fire!

Could it be...the sun coming out??!!! Something I haven't seen here in awhile.

I may have to go out for at least a little bit. :-)

1. It's God's flashlight!

2. We're suddenly getting bathed in radiation here, too!

"Radiation. Yes indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everyone its bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everyone can stand a hundred chest x-rays a year. They oughta have 'em too." -- Dr. J. Frank Parnell

3. The sun may be out...but it is colder than a well-digger's ass....

Just spent 1 1/2 hours shoveling out my car so I can get to work tomorrow. Now to the Ibuprofen bottle....

4. I'm blind!!!!

The reflection off of the 14" of snow we got yesterday doesn't help either! :D

6. Me too! I just cleaned off my car without sunglasses!

7. 14" of snow. Gawd.

Ick and ick.

But at the same time, I do remember the 22" of snow we had in...I think it was 1996. 22" in 2 days. That was freaking horrible!

And I hope your eyes are adjusting to the glare as mine finally are. :-)

5. I live in Ohio

and I know what your talking about. When ever the sun comes out I feel like throwing a party.

8. The sun is a mass of incandescent gas

A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives

We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees

The sun is hot

It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.

The sun is large

If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away

About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day

The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.*

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
