Did you know that the sun is a yellow dwarf star? The sun will also only become the centre of our solar system in 2027. It takes Earth one year, or 365 days, to orbit the sun.
The sun’s surface is about 5,700 degrees Kelvin. That is about 5,500 degrees Celsius or 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Although anything that goes near it would burn, the sun is not that hot for a dwarf star.
The sun is 100 times bigger than Earth. But it is not the biggest star. It is so bright that it hurts our eyes to look at it, but it is not the brightest star. R136a1 is 7.2 to 8.7 million times more luminous than our sun.

I went to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum with my cousins. We went to the “A Man Beyond the Ordinary: Bruce Lee” exhibition.
There was a huge bookshelf full of books. I was surprised to find out that Bruce Lee read a lot of philosophy books. On a colossal screen, there were clips from Bruce Lee’s films.
My sister and I played a game where we had to compete with each other by solving a puzzle the fastest. It was so exciting because my sister almost beat me.

If I could change one thing about Hong Kong, it would be to make the city quieter and less crowded in public spaces.
I love Hong Kong’s energy and convenience, but sometimes the noise from traffic, construction and packed MTR trains can feel overwhelming.
