Sun

Question 1

What is the structure of the Sun’s layers?

Answer 1

Core
Radiative zone
Convective zone
Photosphere
Chromosphere
Corona

Question 2

How does the Sun shine?

Answer 2

Nuclear Fusion

Question 3

Core

Answer 3

The Sun’s core is extremely dense and is the source of all of its energy. Inside the core, nuclear energy is being released

Question 4

Radiation Zone

Answer 4

Calmer region where energy is transported by photons
Extends 2/3 of the Sun’s volume above core
Intense X-ray emission

Question 5

Photosphere

Answer 5

is the layer where the Sun becomes opaque and marks the boundary past which we cannot see
granulation structure

Question 6

Chromosphere

Answer 6

The region of the Sun’s atmosphere that lies immediately above the photosphere

Question 7

Convection Zone

Answer 7

Turbulent region where energy is transported through rising and falling of gas

Question 8

Corona

Answer 8

The outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere

Question 9

What is the sun made of?

Answer 9

Ball of ionized gas = plasma

73% Hydrogen, 25% Helium, 2% Metals (C,N,O)

Question 10

Hydrostatic equilibrium

Answer 10

Gravitate pushing in Sun, And the pressure pushing out is equal. Making it stable (+) + (-) =0

Question 11

why is the sun stable source of light?

Answer 11

Hydrostatic equilibrium

Question 12

Nuclear Fusion

Answer 12

Small nuclei stick together to make a bigger one.
