Gravitational forces create tremendous pressure and temperatures in the core. Hydrogen atoms are compressed and fuse together, creating helium. This process is called nuclear fusion which produces a lot of energy]]> 2019-07-26 06:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372363501 Radiative Zone klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372363796 The section of the interior between the innermost core and the outer convective zone. In the radiative zone, energy generated by nuclear fusion in the core moves outward as electromagnetic rays or photons]]> 2019-07-26 06:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372363796 Convective Zone klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372363956 The convection zone is the outer-most layer of the interior. It extends from a depth of 200,000 km up to the visible surface of the Sun. Energy is transported by convection in this region. The surface of the convection zone is where photons is created. ]]> 2019-07-26 06:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372363956 Photosphere klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372364409 Considered the surface of the sun. It's the deepest layer of the Sun that we can observe directly. It reaches from the surface visible at the center of the solar disk to about 250 miles (400 km) above that. The temperature in the photosphere varies between about 6500 K at the bottom and 4000 K at the top (11,000 and 6700 degrees F, 6200 and 3700 degrees C). Most of the photosphere is covered by granulation.]]> 2019-07-26 06:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372364409 Chromosphere klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372364419 The layer above the photosphere. It appears as a red glow around the sun and is almost transparent.]]> 2019-07-26 06:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372364419 Corona klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365225 The outermost layer of gases that surround the sun. It is only seen during a solar eclipse do iys depth]]> 2019-07-26 06:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365225 Sunspots klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365463 Temporary phenoma on the surface that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection]]> 2019-07-26 06:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365463 Prominence klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365472 Huge arches (loops) of glowing gas that extend outward from the sun’s surface]]> 2019-07-26 06:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365472 Flare klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365487 Explosions occurring on the sun. Often occur near sunspots.]]> 2019-07-26 06:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365487 Aurora klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365498 Bright dancing lights that are found in certain evenings. Collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere. ]]> 2019-07-26 06:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372365498 Cited Sources klu3993 https://padlet.com/klu3993/xnt08uzjt1ga/wish/372366143 “Chromosphere.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 14 Mar. 2019, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosphere.
