THE SUN HAS LAYERS!?
WIKI-WIKI-WHATTTTTT?!?!
NO! not those layers!
These layers!!!

hardCORE! ! ! !
The innermost layer of the sun is the core!
-the core’s temperature is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit!
-fusion reactions produce energy in the form of gamma rays.

RRRRRadiation ZZZZZone
• It provides efficient transferring of energy near the core
• Hot and dense

CONVECTION
• Thermal columns carry hot material to the surface
• After it cools, it plunges down to the base of the convection zone to obtain more heat from the top.

PHOTOSPHERE!-Visible surface of the sun
-solar atmosphere
-can be seen with telescopes!

Chromosphere
• Thin layer above the visible surface
• Originated from the Greek word chromos
• It means color

Corona!
• The outer atmosphere of the sun
• Larger in volume than the sun itself
• Several million degrees

Energy production
• The sun produces energy through nuclear reactions in which nuclei collide and stick together.
• the nucleus calms down by releasing some energy in the form of a gamma ray, which helps to heat the sun.

Sun spots!
• Appear visibly as dark spots
• temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun
• caused by intense magnetic activity

Effects on Earth
• Warms out planet
• Energy drives much of our weather
• solar cosmic rays affect Earth‘s cloudiness.
