Study Notes

  • The Sun is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with traces of other elements.
  • The core of the Sun has a temperature of 15 million Kelvin and allows for nuclear fusion of hydrogen.
  • The radiative zone surrounds the core and energy produced by fusion is propagated outward as electromagnetic radiation.
  • The convective zone surrounds the radiative zone and energy is transported outward by convective motions.
  • The photosphere appears as a mosaic of bright areas called granules, caused by the upwelling of hotter gas from below.
  • Sunspots are cooler areas on the photosphere.
  • The chromosphere is a thin red layer surrounding the photosphere, with irregular features called spicules.
  • The corona is a very rarefied layer of gas that extends millions of kilometers from the photosphere and has a temperature of 1 million Kelvin.
  • The solar atmosphere is visible during a total eclipse as a bright halo around the Sun.
  • The solar wind is formed by particles escaping the Sun's gravity and dispersing in all directions.
