How do we know that Sun is not powered by some form of chemical combustion, like that that occurs in a camp fire?

Nothing is the absence of something. Nothing cannot be reproduced in an already existing universe.

I'm doing a project on the distance from the sun to the planets. I'm using a paper 2 meters in lenght. I have to put the distance of each planet from the sun in METERS OR CENTIMETERS in the paper. Could anyone put the estimate distance in meters/cm in the paper?

Thx in advance.

Since of course, you would normally think that gravity increases as you get closer to the center of the earth. But why does gravity increase as you get closer to the center/core, since-------

Gravity and the size of the planet are realted.
For example Jupiter has more gravity then earth because it is bigger, so therefore the smaller the planet the less the gravity, when you dig a whole should'nt there be less gravity since there is less mass underneath you?
Any website covering the problem would be great, or even a opinion.
I need something to work off of, for a theory.

So I'm just back from a jaunt through the woods adjacent to my home on this bright sunny fall day, and at 1:45 PM E.D.T. I notice something strange (perhaps waking up for the first time in my life?) The shadows of the trees on the southeastern part of the property (the house faces southwest if that matters) are being cast to the north and slightly to the east while the shadows of the trees about 60 feet away on the southwestern part of the property are still being cast north and slightly west. Isn't the sun far enough away that the 60 feet should make no real difference? I'm looking for a serious answer here, really, don't just tell me to go back to sleep.

I know Edwin Hubble did not get it wrong, and I understand that it is space which expands, not matter, and light is stretched i.e redshift etc, but I can't visualise these galactic superclusters if everything is supposed to be receding and so fast too. Help!
