What is the sun? It’s a massive ball of gas and plasma 93 million miles away that’s been shining for four and a half billion years. It warms our planet and gives us light – and astronomers have been fascinated with it for hundreds of years.

Rob and Neil put on their sunglasses to find out more about this special star and teach some related vocabulary. We promise you won’t be blinded with science!

This week's question:

How hot is the surface of the sun? Now I’ll help you out by telling you that the sun’s core – that’s the centre – is a blistering five million degrees Celsius. But how hot is the sun’s surface? Is it ...

a) 1.5 billion degrees Celsius

b) 1.5 million degrees Celsius

c) 5500 degrees Celsius

Listen to the programme to find out the answer

Rob

Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English. I'm Rob…

Neil

… and I'm Neil. Hello.

Rob

Hello, Neil, and what a glorious sunny day it is today. Not a cloud in the sky! Spring is definitely here! Now, Neil, you’re a bit of a sun worshipper, aren’t you? You like sunbathing…

Neil

I do indeed! I love sitting in my deckchair in the garden, catching some rays…

Rob

Hmm, yes, you look a bit orange actually. Are you sure that tan's not fake?

Neil

Very cheeky, Rob, very cheeky…

Rob

Now the reason I mentioned sunbathing is because we’re discussing the sun in this programme.

Neil

Yes, that’s right. The sun is our nearest star – although it’s a staggering 150 million kilometres away. Earth is one of nine planets that orbit– or circle around – the sun. And life on Earth couldn’t exist without its warmth and light.

Rob

And we should mention… the sun is absolutely massive. Its volume is so large you could fit a million Earths inside it.

Neil

That’s amazing! It’s also incredibly hot. Hotter than anything you could imagine.

Rob

So Neil, can you answer this question: How hot is the surface of the sun? Now I’ll help you out by telling you that the sun’s core– that’s the centre – is a blistering five million degrees Celsius. But how hot is the sun’s surface? Is it ...

a) 1.5 billion degrees Celsius

b) 1.5 million degrees Celsius

or c) 5500 degrees Celsius

Neil

Hmm. I have no idea. They all sound quite warm to me. But … I think it must be a bit cooler than the core. So I’m going to go for 1.5 million degrees.

Rob

Okay. Well, we'll find out if you're right or wrong later on. But now let’s listen to Professor of Solar Physics Louise Harra to discover what the sun is made of.

Louise Harra, Professor of Solar Physics at UCL Mullard Space ScienceIt’s just a big ball of gas. And we measure it… it’s made mostly of hydrogen. So it’s roughly 90% hydrogen, it’s maybe 8% helium, and the rest of it’s made up of things like iron, carbon, oxygen, nickel.

Neil

So the main gas is hydrogen, which accounts for 90% of the sun’s matter. Now, 'matter' means what something is made of.

Rob

And hydrogen creates all the sun’s energy. Heat and light energy is created all the time in the sun’s core as a result of gas explosions or nuclear reactions. And this bit is hard to believe – it takes a hundred thousand years for this light energy to travel from the sun’s core to the sun’s surface.

Neil

But once it reaches the sun’s surface – the photosphere– it can escape. In fact, it takes only eight minutes for light energy from the sun to reach the Earth. Scientists these days are able to see the photosphere in fantastic detail using powerful telescopes.

Rob

Though Galileo observed dark spots on the sun through his telescope several hundred years ago, didn’t he? Which brings us on to another question: How old is the sun?

Neil

Well, I happen to know that it came into being around four and a half billion years ago.

Rob

Did you study solar physics at university, Neil?

Neil

No, just… you know, just general knowledge.

Rob

Well, the sun came into being– or was created – a very long time ago! We’re going to hear now from Professor of Physics, Yvonne Elseworth. What does she say about how long the sun is going to stay the same?

Yvonne Elseworth, Poynting Professor of Physics at the University of BirminghamIn terms of its current lifestyle it’s here for as long again, so we’re about half way through. And then it becomes a different sort of star – it becomes a giant star and that’s probably curtains for us, actually. It’ll get a bit warm, a bit toasty, and we’ll get enveloped in the sun, and it won’t be nice...

Neil

So the sun is going to stay the same for another four and a half billion years. But the professor also says that the sun will change. When it becomes a giant star, it will be curtainsfor our planet – and ‘curtains’ means the end, I’m afraid!

Rob

Yes, it does. And as a giant star, the sun will get hotter – it will make the Earth toasty. Now, toasty usually means hot in a nice way.

Neil

That’s right – for example, my toes are warm and toasty in my new slippers. But in reality the giant sun will make the Earth unbearably hot. It will surround – or envelop– our planet and burn it up.

Rob

Well, I’m glad we’re not going to be around when that happens. Now, remember at the beginning of the show I asked you how hot the sun’s surface is? Is it a) 1.5 billion b) 1.5 million or c) 5500 degrees Celsius?

Neil

And I said 1.5 million…

Rob

It’s way too hot, I’m afraid you were wrong. The answer is actually 5500 degrees Celsius. But still, if you’re planning on visiting the sun, remember to take your sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen! Now, before we go, it’s time to remind ourselves of some of the vocabulary that we’ve heard today. Neil.

为什么听力无法提高？

原因有多种：

• 听不懂（听力材料太难）

• 两天打渔，三天晒网，不能坚持（绝大部分人都输在这一条上面）

• 没有刻意练习（没有精听的过程，不能提高）

针对上面的问题：

• BBC听力材料是对话题材，相对简单，一般水平都能听得懂

• 我们设计打卡小程序，监督你打卡，一起听1年。

• 可以练习，每天听写两到三个句子。

听力方法：

• 1. 听3-5遍以上

• 2. 对照文本听2遍，并查5-10个单词

• 3. 盲听5遍以上。

• 4. 留言处写下问题的答案以及听写的两至三个句子。

你留言，我给你上墙，留言格式：昵称 天数，e.g 爱酱-Day 4-C- I love bread.
