“What rises but does not fade, fades but does not lose”
“Fast as lightning” is one of the TV gameshows that receive a lot of attention and love from the audience. Especially the word puzzles, quizzes in the program often cause storms because of brain hacking, requiring players to have a rich imagination to be able to answer correctly. In episode 17, season 3 of the show, there was an extremely interesting puzzle as follows:
“What rises but does not fade, fades but does not die?”
Illustration.
Before this question, both the players and the audience at the studio were bewildered, shaking their heads in defeat. Huh? What is magical, mysterious, thought lost but still like that? This thing is not really mysterious but exists “standing” in our lives. Primary school kids draw it in every picture, adults whine about it every summer, astronomers study it. Speaking of which, you must have guessed what this “destroyed without losing” thing is, right?
That’s right, it is SUN. The sun “rises” every day but does not die, and then in the evening it does not disappear. Some more information then:
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System, accounting for about 99.8% of the Solar System’s mass. The Earth and other celestial bodies such as planets, asteroids, meteorites, comets, and dust orbit the Sun. The average distance between the Sun and the Earth is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (1 AU), so it takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.
Over the course of a year, this varies from 147.1 million kilometers (0.9833 AU) at perihelion (about January 3), to as far as 152.1 million kilometers (1.017 AU) at aphelion. (around July 4th). Solar energy in the form of light supports most life on Earth through photosynthesis and controls Earth’s climate and weather.
In some East Asian languages, the Sun is written as 日 (Chinese, pinyin rì or Japanese nichi) or 太阳 (simplified)/太陽 (traditional) (pinyin tai yáng or Japanese taiyō). In Vietnamese, the Sino-Vietnamese transliteration of this word is Nhat and Thai. The Moon and the Sun are also related to yin and yang, with the Moon representing yin and the Sun representing yang with opposite meanings. The Sun represents the force that destroys evil. Most vampires are afraid of sunlight.
Like other natural phenomena, the Sun is the subject of much mention in cultures throughout human history and is also the origin of the word sunday (Sunday). The Sun God is mentioned and worshiped in many cultures: the Ede people call it Yang Hrue, the M’Nong people call it Yang Nar, Yang Thehe, Yang Mat, and the Gia Rai people: Yang Dai. Greek mythology has the god Apollo, Helios; Roman mythology has the god Sol.
The god Ra in the ancient Egyptian religion was also the sun god, considered the king of the gods. In the Aztec culture, Tōnatiuh was a fierce and warlike sun god.
