Summary

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! For centuries, mankind believed we were in the center of the universe. The sun, moon and stars all revolved around us. Of course, this isn't true. And it wasn't true, even when we believed it to be. We learned that, in terms of the universe, we aren't very special on our own. We also learned that the sun was way, way bigger than we ever imagined. It is the center of our system of life, and we draw what we need to survive...

0:00.0	Hello, welcome back for season two of the Excel Stillmore podcast. I am your host, Chris
0:11.4	Emerson, and I'm here to encourage you with tips and strategies to help you build stronger
0:17.3	relationships, deepen your faith, and just get the most out of your life. Thank you for
0:23.7	joining. Let's get started. Welcome back to the program today. I'm so thankful that you're here.
0:34.8	I'm really excited today to talk to you about our solar system.
0:39.3	I love researching the size of things in the sky. The majesty of God put on full display by the things that he has made.
0:49.0	It makes it evident that there is a majesty emanating from the creator that dwarfs anything we could ever even
0:56.2	imagine. I love to study the size of the stars and their distance in light years, and maybe we'll
1:03.8	get a chance to talk about that some other time, but today I want to focus in on one star in particular,
1:12.3	the sun.
1:26.1	At the center of our solar system is this enormous, bright, flaming, powerful source of light and heat and life.
1:32.3	Everything that revolves around it is able to exist because of what the sun provides. And while it's 93 million miles away, which to some can seem far, in the grand
1:41.7	scheme of our universe, it's actually quite close. And it may not look
1:46.5	very large in the sky because of its distance, but it is actually massive. Here are a few numbers
1:55.4	to help illustrate that. It would take 110 Earths side by side to represent the diameter all the way across the sun the sun is
2:08.1	330 thousand times heavier than earth and by volume it would take 1.3 million Earths. That's us to fill up the space taken
2:24.3	by that single star, that source of light. The Earth, in and of itself, is quite impressive. It's pretty big, beautiful. It produces
2:37.1	life after its kind. It sustains life. The earth is quite impressive, but it is only able,
2:44.8	please hear me clearly, only able to do those things because of its relationship with the sun.
2:52.5	Now it might not surprise you to hear that mankind for centuries considered the earth to be
2:59.0	at the center of the universe.
3:02.0	Mankind is good at that.
