This educational wall chart provides a detailed and visually engaging exploration of the Sun, the star at the centre of our Solar System. It explains how the Sun supports life on Earth by supplying light and energy, driving weather patterns, and enabling natural processes such as photosynthesis. The chart begins with an overview of the Sun’s role in the Solar System and the immense scale of solar energy reaching Earth.

Key sections illustrate both the exterior and interior of the Sun. Clear diagrams label features such as the photosphere, chromosphere, corona, sunspots, prominences, solar flares, and sunquakes. A cross-sectional diagram of the Sun explains internal layers including the core, radiative zone, and convective zone, helping learners understand how energy is generated and transferred outward.

Additional panels focus on important solar features, comparing the size of the Sun to Earth and explaining observable phenomena such as solar flares and sunspots. The chart also explores the Sun’s influence on shadows, eclipses, weather systems, and solar energy production. A dedicated section explains why observing the Sun safely is essential.

This wall chart doubles effectively as a poster for classrooms, science labs, and homeschool environments, reinforcing complex astronomical concepts through structured visuals and clear explanations.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
