The Sun Flashcards
Upper layer of sun atmosphere
Solar corona
Sun layers inner to outer
Core- 200,000 km radius of 10000000c Radiation-heat conducted with no movement Convention- constant motion Photosphere- light is given off Chromosphere above sun surface
Only time we can see Suns atmosphere
Solar eclipse
Arching columns of glowing gas that return to Suns surface
Solar prominences
Solar flare
Jets of glowing gas that shot out from surface and do not return
Coronal mass ejections
Huge bubbles of glowing gas that can reach earth
Process that allows sun to excise
Fusion
Main fuel source of sun
Hydrogen
Sunspots
Magnetic storms of surface of sun
Einsteins equation
E=mc^2
Hydrogen atom with extra neutron
Deuteron
Can make a modern day weapon? What do we use
Fusion
Power that our power plants make
Fission
Photosphere temp
Chromosphere temp
Photo is 6,000
Chromo is 3,000,000
Two mechanism that move Suns energy
Convention and conduction
