100
The hot dense center of the Sun; this is where Nuclear Fusion occurs.
What is Core?
100
This is the dark areas on the Sun's surface; that are cooler than the surrounding areas.
What is are Sun Spots
100
These are the waves on the EMS that has the longest wavelength but the least amount of energy.
What are Radio Waves?
100
This is the light that bounces off an object.
What is what is reflection?
100
These waves are emitted by radio stations, and also helps you receive signals from your cell phone?
What are Radio Waves
200
This is the second layer of the interior of the sun; energy is transferred away from the core by radiation.
What is the radiative zone?
200
These are huge loops of cooler gas that may extend outward from the photosphere.
What are prominences?
200
These are the only waves on the EMS that "we" can see.
What is Visible Light?
200
This is when light is bent as it pass through an object.
What is refraction?
200
These two waves all get through to Earth through the atmosphere.
What are Radio and Visible Light?
300
This is the surface of the sun, where most solar activity occurs.
What is the photosphere?
300
These are explosive releases of electromagnetic energy that can reach out into the Corona.
What are Solar Flares
300
In seeing visible light, what colors do the letters ROY G. BIV stand for in order.
What is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet?
300
This is the type of lense that is thicker in the middle than at the edges.
What is a Convex Lens?
300
Name the three interior layers of the Sun.
What are Core, Radiative Zone, and Convective Zone?
400
This is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere; it can only be seen during an eclipse.
What is the Corona
400
This is the idea that the Sun's layers rotate at different speeds and in different directions.
What is different rotation?
400
This is the waves on the EMS that have the shortest wavelength and the most amount of energy.
What are Gamma Rays?
400
This type of telescope uses a concave mirror to magnify an image.
What is a Reflecting Telescope?
400
These are two types of solar activity that have release gas from the photosphere?
What are Solar Flare and Prominence?
500
This is the layer of the Sun found above the photospere. It is the middle layer of the Sun's exterior layers.
What is the Chromosphere?
500
During the process of differential rotation, the interior layers rotate and ______ days and the exterior layers rotate at ______ days.
What is 25 and 35.
500
What two wavelengths are blocked by H2O(water vapors) and CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
What are Microwaves and Infrared?
500
This is the type of lens that is used in a Refracting telescope to magnify and image.
What is a Convex Lens?
500
What are the two waves that are totally blocked by the Earth's atmosphere, so they do not reach Earth.
What X-rays and Gamma Rays?
