This is a device scientist use to break up the sun's light into a spectrum to find out what elements are present.
What is a spectograph?
100
Events in which the sun emits atomic particles.
What are Solar Ejections?
100
The center of the sun.
What is the core?
100
These are remnants from the formation of the solar system.
What are asteroids?
100
This is a comet.
What is icy remnants of the solar system?
200
Most of the sun's mass is made of these 2 elements.
What are Hydrogen and Helium?
200
These are Prominences.
What are huge arches of glowing gases that follow the curved lines of magnetic force from a region of one magnetic force to a region of the opposite magnetic polarity.?
200
Here energy moves outward in the form of electromagnetic waves or radiation.
What is the radiative zone?
200
The Asteroid Belt is located here.
Where is the orbit between Mars and Jupiter?
200
Comets heat and vaporize as they approach the sun, forming this.
What is a tail?
300
The final products of Nuclear Fusion are these.
What is a Helium nucleus and energy?
300
These are the most violent and are associated with magnetic disturbances.
What are solar flares?
300
Here energy is carried upward by convection.
What is Convection Zone?
300
These are meteorites.
What are asteroids that hit the surface of the Earth?
300
A comets tail always points in this direction
What is away from the sun?
400
This is why the sun shines and the cause of its high temperature.
What is energy released in the 3 steps of Nuclear Fusion?
400
This is a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)
What is part of the coronal gas that is thrown into space and cause disturbances on earth, such as interference of radio communications, satellites, or black-outs?
400
This is the visible surface, this glows a reddish color during eclipses and this is the outermost layer of the atmosphere.
What are the Photosphere, Chromosphere, and Corona?
400
Small pieces of asteroids.
What are meteoroids?
400
This is the cause of meteor showers.
What is when Earth intersects comet debris?
500
Einstein's theory of relativity explains this about the huge quantities of energy produced by the sun.
What is a small amount of matter yields a large amount of energy, E=mc2?
500
These are usually seen close to the Earth's magnetic poles because their color is produced this way.
What are Auroras that are formed by the interaction between solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere?
500
These are the layers of the sun from the center out.
What are the core-->Radiative Zone-->Convection Zone--> Photosphere-->Chromosphere-->Corona
500
This is a meteor.
What is when an asteroid falls toward Earth and burns up?
500
Sunspots appear here on the sun and are caused by this.
Where is midway between the sun's equator and poles? and
What is a dark area of the photosphere that is cooler than the surrounding area and has a strong magnetic field.
