Here gravity has squeezed the Sun so much that hydrogen compresses together to form helium and release energy through nuclear fusion. ]]> 2017-08-04 02:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093065 841157 https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093178 This is the layer of the Sun above the super dense core. The density slowly decreases moving away from the core. Light produced by nuclear fusion in the core travels out in the shell called the radiative zone.]]> 2017-08-04 02:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093178 841157 https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093233 This is the layer of the Sun above the radiative zone. When the density of the radiative zone becomes low enough energy from the core in the form of light is converted into heat.]]> 2017-08-04 02:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093233 841157 https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093320 The material that reaches the top of the convection zone cools by giving of light. This region of the Sun is the first part of the Sun that is visible to us and we call it the photosphere. This is where the light we see from the Sun originates.]]> 2017-08-04 02:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093320 841157 https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093429 Above the photosphere is a layer of the atmosphere about 2,000 km thick called the chromosphere. The temperature increases as you move higher to about 20,000 degrees Celsius at the top of the chromosphere. The chromosphere is no longer white light like the photosphere but is mostly red in visible light.]]> 2017-08-04 02:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093429 841157 https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093587 The highest part of the solar atmosphere is called the corona. The corona starts around 10,000 km above the solar photosphere. Unlike the atmosphere of the Earth the atmosphere of the Sun continues to get hotter as you move away from the solar surface.]]> 2017-08-04 02:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093587 841157 https://padlet.com/841157/ui0ubcs29sir/wish/180093719 http://www.thesuntoday.org/the-sun/solar-structure/
