The Sun
The Sun is made mostly of a hot ball off gas, containing mostly hydrogen and helium. It has four layers: Core, Photosphere, Chromosphere, and Corona.
Solar Flares
Sun Spot
~dark areas that form on the sun's surface~occurs in a 11 year cycle
~Explosive release of energy that can extend outward as far as the suns outter atmosphere
Core~Nuclear Fusion occurs to produce energy~energy is transfered to the surface through radiative zone and convective zoneCore
Photosphere~Suns suface~energy escapes sun here ~layer we see
Chromosphere~middle layer of sun's atmosphere~temperatures rises with distance away from photosphere~glows red during a solar eclipse
Corona~outer layer of sun's atmosphere~sends streams of electrically charged particals~can cause North Lights seen on Earth
