Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video takes students on a journey to the center of our solar system to explore the Sun. It breaks down complex astronomical concepts into digestible segments, starting with the Sun's identity as a star and its internal structure. The video explains the process of nuclear fusion within the core, describing how energy travels through the radiative and convective zones before reaching Earth as light and heat. It uses clear visuals and analogies, such as a pinball machine and a water balloon, to help students visualize abstract physical processes.
