How to Draw the Parts of the Sun for Kids

1. Begin the parts of the sun for kids outline by drawing a large circle.

Inside it, draw two curved lines that meet at a gentle point. These will form the cross-section or cut-away view that reveals the inside of the sun.

2. Connect the previous two lines with a curved line at the bottom. Draw a similar shape like a bulging triangle inside it. Connect the corners of the inner and outer shapes with straight lines.

3. Draw two more bulging triangle shapes within the first. These indicate the different layers of the sun.

4. Begin drawing a series of curved lines that meet at points in a circular pattern around the original circle. These are the sun's glowing rays.

5. Continue drawing curved lines that meet at points to complete the circular shape.

6. Draw a flamelike solar flare passing over the edge of the son. Use curved lines that meet at jagged points, erasing as necessary.

7. Draw more solar flares along the edges of the sun. Again, use curved lines that meet at jagged points.

8. Draw a slightly larger circle around the original circle. Notice how it appears to pass behind the flares.

Enclose several round shapes on the sun's surface. Then, begin labeling the corona, core, and chromosphere. Draw lines from each term to its respective part.

9. Continue labeling parts, working clockwise. These include the convection zone, radiative zone, flare, photosphere, prominence, transition region, and sunspot. Draw lines to each part.

Your parts of the sun for kids outline is now complete. Use shades of yellow, orange, and red to color its different layers.
