Solar System Models
It is the name of the first European astronomer to propose the heliocentric model.
Nicolaus Copernicus
this is the outermost layer, with a temperature of about 500,000 °C or more.
Corona
The moon is approximately 3,476 km in diameter, or a quarter of the size of the earth
size
It can shift between annular and total eclipse.
Hybrid solar eclipse
It is the star, which is 93 million miles away from the planet earth
Sun
This model states that earth is the center of the solar system.
Geocentric model
this is above the solar surface, and is the only layer that can be seen during a solar eclipse.
Chromosphere
The moon’s atmosphere is very thin. It is so thin that it doesn’t have oxygen available to breathe
Atmosphere
The moon appears small, so it looks like a dark disc on top of the sun.
Annular eclipse
It is the closest planet to the sun.
Mercury
This model states that the sun is the center of the solar system
Heliocentric model
this is the layer that we can observe directly, and it is mostly covered by granulation.
Photosphere
The causes of the depressions on the surface is the millions of years of rocks hitting the surface of the moon. Some volcanoes also contributed to create the craters of the moon.
Craters
The sun, the moon and the earth are not perfectly aligned, so only part of the sun is covered.
Partial eclipse
It is the warmest planet of the solar system.
Venus
It is the attraction force that pulls everything you can touch.
Gravity
this is one of the inner layers, where energy moves towards the surface through convection streams of heated and cooled gas.
convection zone
The moon is about 384,000 km away from earth
Distance
Whenever the moon is not totally blocking the sun.
Non-total eclipse
It is famous because of its rings.
Saturn
It is the planet where we live.
this is where energy is born by thermonuclear reactions and this creates extreme temperatures.
Core
During the day the moon is 107° degrees Celsius while at night it drops to -153 degrees Celsius.
Temperature
This type of eclipse happens when the moon completely blocks the sun from the earth’s surface.
Total eclipse
It is the coldest planet in our solar system.
Uranus
