2.  Radiative Zone

4. Photosphere 
5. Chromosphere

Nuclear reactions consume hydrogen and form helium, this nuclear reaction creates energy that shows up on the surface as heat and light.]]> 2017-08-09 21:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180530271 cheyenneehoppes https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180531050 In the radiative zone the energy that is created in the core begins to move through as electromagnetic radiation which is conveyed by photons. The radiative zone extends from the core to about 70% of the suns radius. ]]> 2017-08-09 21:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180531050 cheyenneehoppes https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180628764 The convective zone is the outer most layer of the interior of the sun. Energy is transported through this area by convection and it turned into light at the surface of this layer. ]]> 2017-08-10 16:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180628764 cheyenneehoppes https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180634218 The photosphere is a thin but visible layer of gas on the suns surface. It is the lowest layer of the suns atmosphere and this is where things like sunspots occur and energy is released as light.]]> 2017-08-10 16:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180634218 cheyenneehoppes https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180636925 The chromosphere is the second layer in the sun atmosphere. It's an irregular layer that has temperatures that rise from 6000 degree C to 200,000 degrees C. At temperatures this high hydrogen emits light that gives off a reddish color. ]]> 2017-08-10 17:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180636925 cheyenneehoppes https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180638870 The corona is the outermost layer of the suns atmosphere and can be seen in total eclipses as a white crown around the sun. Different features and the shapes of the corona changes depending on the sunspot cycle. ]]> 2017-08-10 17:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180638870 cheyenneehoppes https://padlet.com/cheyenneehoppes/q4137zymj0g2/wish/180641986 Sunspots are spots on the suns surface that appear darker because they are cooler. These spots are cooler because they have intense magnetic fields that inhabit the rise of heat from the interior of the sun.

These features are very hot and very bright and is made of a hot gas made of electrically charged hydrogen and helium.

This happens during solar storms call coronal mass ejection. When the particles reach our atmosphere they mix with some of the gases which cause different colored lights to appear, creating Auroras.
