magine not knowing much about the planet you live on and its relationship with the solar system in which it inhabits. That’s what it was like for the ancient Egyptians, Native Americans, Aztecs and others. What did they think of the sun, the central star of our solar system? They knew it was important enough to study. They watched and made connections, followed by building stone structures to mark the movement of both the sun and the moon. They noted sunrises and moonrises, seasons and eclipses. And for a long time, Earth’s inhabitants believed that the other planets and stars revolved around the Earth. Well, at least they had the part right about how the sun drives the seasons and the climate, not to mention without the sun we could not survive.
