The Sun
The sun and its factors. By: Jade Cornielle
The hot boiling sun!!!!!!!!
This flyer is to tell you more about the amazing but hot sun, and show you images of the types of things that occurs on our sun. The sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It happens to contain 99.8% of the total mass of the solar system. The sun is always know as a huge star, and has many layers to it, read below to find out how in the world our sun is able to give us the energy that we need this very day. (:
All of the suns layers.
The suns core.
The yellow object in the photo in the center of the sun is the suns core. The inner core is the central place where nuclear reactions release the energy that leaves the surface as a visible light. All the energy that comes away from the sun and all that reaches earth is started in the core. The core is a very small and hot center of the sun.
The radiation zone.
This is the second layer of the Sun above the super dense core. This layer is not as dense as the core, but happens to be still so dense that the light bounces around. light produced by nuclear fusion in the core travels out in the shell called the one and only radiation zone.
The convection zone.
This happens to be the layer of the sun that is above the radiation zone. The convection zone is made out of plasma which is a gas. The convection zone is heated by the radiations coming out of the radiative zone.
Photosphere !!!!!
The Photo -sphere happens to be a visible surface of the sun that almost every body is familiar with it. So the sun is like a bag of gas which makes this substance not a solid surface it is an liquid surface. which is very thin.
The Chromosphere !!!
The chromosphere as you can see is more of a reddish color and happens to have a faint glow and when can be see is a red color. It has that faint glow due to what is called an emission spectrum from hot low density gasses emitting wavelengths. It also contains a gas called spicules that rises through it.
corona !!!!
The glow of a corona is is a million times less bright then that of the photosphere, so that makes it hard to see so it can only be seen when the disk of the sun is blocked off.
sun spots, prominence, sun flares, and aurora.
A little more to tell you about the things that happens to an don our sun. (:
Sun spots!!!!!
Sun spots are spots that appear visibly on the sun as dark spots. They have magnetic field flux that inhibit convection (liked an example of convection on the following pictures above) and have result in reduced surface temperature.
Prominence!!!!
A solar Prominence also called a filament, is an arc of gas that erupts from the surface of the sun. They can loop thousands of miles into space. Prominences happen to be held above the suns surface by strong magnetic fields that can last for many months. Most of the time they will erupt putting enormous amounts of solar material into space.
solar/sun flares!!!!!!
A flare is a sudden rapid and very intense of brightness. A solar flair happens to occur when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released.
An AURORA.
In the image above this is an Aurora also know as a polar light, happens to be a natural light or display in the sky. They are mostly seen in the arctic and antarctic regions. It can be many colors such as blue green like in the picture or even redish colors.
