    Core Planet
AI Thread Summary
The core of a rocky planet, such as Earth, is significantly different from the Sun's core in several key aspects. The Sun's core is a vast, extremely hot, and dense plasma region primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, reaching temperatures of about 15 million degrees Celsius. In contrast, Earth's core is much smaller, composed mainly of iron and nickel, and exists in solid and liquid states at temperatures around 5,000 to 7,000 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the density of the Sun's core is far greater than that of Earth's core. These fundamental differences highlight the distinct nature of planetary and stellar cores.

What is the difference between a rocky planet's core and the core of the sun?

Note temperature, density, size, and composition.
But other than that...

You would be hard pressed to find materials that differ more. The Sun's core is a huge, hot, super dense region of plasma made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. The Earth's core is a much smaller region made mostly of relatively cool metals in a solid or liquid state.

Thread 'How feasible is home radio astronomy?'

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Thread '3I/ATLAS, Interstellar Comet'

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
