The extremely high temperatures in the core (approximately 15 million degrees Celsius) and enormous pressures allow for similarly charged protons in atomic nuclei to overcome their forces of repulsion and fuse together giving rise to nuclear fusion reactions]]> 2018-05-15 18:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978126 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978424 properties and characteristics: This region gets its name from the mode of energy transfer. Energy created from the fusion reactions in the core contain a large amount of gamma rays which pass through the dense Radiative zone.]]> 2018-05-15 18:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978424 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978662 properties and characteristics: Outermost layer of the sun's interior. Hot gases rise and cooler gas sinks.]]> 2018-05-15 18:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978662 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978961 properties and characteristics:  It is the lowest level of the sun’s atmosphere and is the visible surface of the sun seen from Earth. It is at the photosphere that the energy finally escapes from the sun and so it is significantly cooler than the interior.]]> 2018-05-15 18:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260978961 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979184 properties and characteristics: Chromosphere means "sphere of light" and appears as a reddish ring around the sun, only visible during a solar eclipse. It extends 2500 Km above the photosphere.]]> 2018-05-15 18:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979184 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979299 properties and characteristics: The corona is the outermost part of the Sun's atmosphere.The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the Sun's surface. That makes it difficult to see without using special instruments. However, the corona can be seen during a total solar eclipse.

Sunspots are areas where strong magnetic fields interfere with the normal convection currents which bring the energy to the surface]]> 2018-05-15 18:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979470 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979495 Prominences are huge clouds of ejected gases which rise thousands of kilometers above the photosphere and orient themselves along the magnetic fields associated with sunspot pairs.]]> 2018-05-15 18:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979495 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979512 A solar flare is a sudden and violent discharge of energy in the chromosphere associated with sunspots. The flares usually form rapidly and can last for anytime between a few minutes to a few hours.]]> 2018-05-15 18:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979512 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979532 the aurora borealis, or northern lights, are displayed and created when charged particles from the sun interact with gases in Earth's atmosphere. ]]> 2018-05-15 18:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260979532 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260980000 2018-05-15 18:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260980000 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260980263 2018-05-15 18:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260980263 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260980533 2018-05-15 18:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260980533 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260981075 2018-05-15 18:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260981075 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260981657 2018-05-15 18:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260981657 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260982260 2018-05-15 18:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260982260 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260982570 All of the links should be attached to the images except this one from which I got my information: http://www.passmyexams.co.uk/GCSE/physics/structure-of-the-sun.html]]> 2018-05-15 18:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260982570 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260983148 2018-05-15 18:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260983148 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260983499 All citations are attached to the images except for one which I got many images and my information from. http://www.passmyexams.co.uk/GCSE/physics/structure-of-the-sun.html]]> 2018-05-15 18:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260983499 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260984250 2018-05-15 18:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260984250 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260984525 2018-05-15 18:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260984525 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260985610 2018-05-15 18:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260985610 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260987048 2018-05-15 19:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260987048 maya_carrs05 https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260987545 2018-05-15 19:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/maya_carrs05/ds6rwrgsezsr/wish/260987545
