| The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in our solar system with a mass of around 330,000 times that of Earth! It's so huge that approximately 1.3 million Earths could fit inside! |

Life cannot exist on Earth in 2.3 billion years due to temperature! The Earth’s temperature is rising every year. Temperatures will be high enough to evaporate the oceans, and Earth will become a vast desert, similar to Mars today. Sad thing!

People used to believe the Earth was the center of the universe! For a long time, people believed in geocentrism. It was only until 1543 when Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the concept of heliocentrism, which states the sun being the center of the solar system, or the universe. Some years later, Galileo confirmed the theory.
That's what we all know. What we don't know is that in 499 AD Indian mathematican Aryabhata, in his magnum opus Aryabhatiya, propounded a planetary model in which the Earth was taken to be spinning on its axis and the periods of the planets were given with respect to the Sun! |
