Term
Layer outside the sun also known as the "Sphere of Light"
Definition
Photosphere
Term
Layer outside the sun that is 6,000 degrees.
Definition
Photosphere
Term
Cool spots in the Photosphere that is only 4,000 degrees
Definition
Sun Spots
Term
Things that are known as magnetic "storms" on the sun's surface
Definition
Sun Spots
Term
This layer of sun is speckled all over by "convection cells"
Definition
Photosphere
Term
Hot gases rising from inside the Sun that dump heat into space
Definition
Convection Cells
Term
Shines in mostly visible light
Definition
Photosphere
Term
Outside layer above the photosphere
Definition
Chromosphere
Term
Outside Layer also known as the "Sphere of Color"
Definition
Chromosphere
Term
Outside layer that is 50,000 degrees
Definition
Chromosphere
Term
Outside layer that has arcs and plumes of gases called prominences
Definition
Chromosphere
Term
Shines with a lot of energetic ultraviolet light- also has a lot of red light from hydrogen
Definition
Chromosphere
Term
Outside layer known as "The Crown"
Definition
Corona
Term
Hottest of the sun's atmosphere
Definition
Corona
Term
Outside layer that is 1 million degrees
Definition
Corona
Term
Very hot, thin gas that forms looping and arcing shapes because of the Sun's powerful magnetic fields
Definition
Corona
Term
Powerful explosions happen here
Definition
Corona
Term
So hot that it shines a lot of energetic X-rays
Definition
Corona
Term
Inside layer that is 15 million degrees
Definition
Core
Term
The center of the sun and innermost layer
Definition
Core
Term
Here, the Sun smashed hydrogen which becomes helium and releases the great amount of energy that powers the Sun
Definition
Core
Term
the Middle inside layer between the Core and Convection Zone
Definition
Radiative Zone
Term
In this zone, energy from the Core shines outward as light
Definition
Radiative Zone
Term
Energy moving at the speed of light, it bounces back and forth in every direction and may takes thousands of years to travel through this zone
Definition
Radiative Zone
Term
The outermost zone inside the sun
Definition
Convection Zone
Term
in this interior zone, energy has a difficult time moving outward around as light
Definition
Convection Zone
Term
Energy is carried outward as gas in this zone
Definition
Convection Zone
Term
in this zone, hotter gases rise upward like a hot air balloon and cool by releasing their heat, and then sink
Definition
Convection Zone
Term
Energy released from this inside zone shines into space through the photosphere as visible light
Definition
Convection Zone
Term
