God is 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hydrogen atoms and 60,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 helium atoms? I did not know that! Can you point me to a specific verse?
oh hey, and here's a little from wikipedia...
The temperature of sun's surface is about 6,000 degree celsius. The temperature at its core has been estimated about 15,000,000 degree celsius. Energy is produced in it's core by nuclear fusion, converts hydrogen atoms and releases huge amounts of energy. The American physicist George Gamow had once calculated that if a pinhead could be brought to the same temperature, as at the core of the sun, it would set fire to everything for 100 kilometres around. At the center of the Sun, where its density reaches up to 150,000 kg/m3 (150 times the density of water on Earth), thermonuclear reactions (nuclear fusion) convert hydrogen into helium, releasing the energy that keeps the Sun in a state of equilibrium. About 8.9 ×10^37 protons (hydrogen nuclei) are converted into helium nuclei every second, releasing energy at the matter-energy conversion rate of 4.26 million tonnes per second, 383 yottawatts (383 ×10^24 W) or 9.15 ×10^10 megatons of TNT per second. The fusion rate in the core is in a self-correcting equilibrium: a slightly higher rate of fusion would cause the core to heat up more and expand slightly against the weight of the outer layers, reducing the fusion rate and correcting the perturbation; and a slightly lower rate would cause the core to shrink slightly, increasing the fusion rate and again reverting it to its present level.
