Fun Fact: Corona means crown in Latin and thats why it is called the corona because the white halo around the sun looks like a crown.

The sun does not have a solid surface, but the gases of the photosphere are thick enough to be visible.

Fun Fact: One would need to explode 100 billion tons of dynamite every second to match the energy produced by the sun.

# data[].attributes.body
Fun fact: The visible part of the sun is about 10,000 degrees farenheit while temperature in the core reach more then 27 million degrees farnehiet

# data[].attributes.body
The energy heats gas on the sun to millions of degrees Celsius, causing the gas to erupt in space.

These eruptions are called solar flares

# data[].attributes.body
Fun fact: The greek word chroma means "color" so the chromosphere is the "color sphere"

# data[].attributes.body
The corona extends into space for millions of kilometers and it gradually thins into electrically charged particles called solar wind.

# data[].attributes.body
Sunspots usually occur in groups of hge reddish loops of gas called prominences.

These loops can be extending over the edge of the sun.

# data[].attributes.body
Fun fact: Light from the Sun reaches Earth in 8 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
The Sun's core is around 13,600,000 degrees celcius

# data[].attributes.body
The corona and even fainter layer of the sun also becomes visible during a total solar eclipse and looks like a white halo around the sun.

# data[].attributes.body
Areas of gas on the suns surface that are cooler than the gases around them.

Cooler gases dont give off as much light as hotter gases, which is why sunspots look darker than the rest of the photosphere

# data[].attributes.body
Fun fact: The greek word photos means "light" therefore photosphere means sphere that gives off light.

# data[].attributes.body
The photosphere is the inner layer of the sun and when you look at the sun you are seeing the photosphere

# data[].attributes.body
The chromosphere is only visible when the moon blocks the light from the photosphere because the photosphere can no longer produce the glare that keeps you from seeing the sun's faint outer layers. The moon only blocks the light during a total solar eclipse.

Scientists used telescopes to study the sun. Features on or just above the suns surface include sunspots, prominences, and solar flares.

-Nuclear Fusion in the sun's core gets energy.

-Gas ions in the sun will move very fast

# data[].attributes.body
-Nuclear Fusion is the forming of two hydrogen atoms to form one helium atom. In the Sun's Core.

-The Sun produces most of its energy through nuclear fusion.

# data[].attributes.body
The Sun's Energy Comes from ionized gas, or plasma.

# data[].attributes.body
There are three layers to the suns atmosphere: the photosphere, the chromosphere, and the corona

# data[].attributes.body
Like Earth, the sun has an interior which has a core, a radiation zone and a convection zone

The core has a diameter of 400000 km, which is 30x Earths diameter. Nuclear fusion takes place in the core. The energy produced in the sun's core goes into the radiation zone. It is the middle layer of the sun. It is a region of packed gas that is so dense. it can take up to 100000 years for the energy to go through. The energy then goes to the convection zone which is the outermost layer.
