Module 16 Assignment 3

Core
It is where nuclear reactions consume hydrogen to form helium. It is considered to be the hottest part of the sun.
Radioative Zone
This is the section of the solar interior. It lies between the innermost core and the the outer convection zone.
Convection Zone
This is where the light is created. Energy is transported in this region. It is below the photosphere.
Photosphere
It is the visible surface of the sun. It is not a solid but a layer of gas about 100 km thick.
Chromosphere
The chromosphere sits just above the photosphere. It is roughly 2,000km deep.
Corona
Extends millions of kilometers into space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse. It is a crown or crown like structure.
Aurora
The Aurora is a natural electrical phenomenon characterized by the appearance of streamers of reddish or greenish light in the sky, usually near the northern or southern magnetic pole.
Flare
They occur in active regions around sunspots. They release ten million times more energy than a volcano. They are almost as hot as the core.
Prominence
A prominence is a sudden brief burst of bright flame or light. It is anchored in the photosphere and extends outward to the suns hot outer atmosphere.
