Fill in the blank. Currents of hot gas in the _________ _____ carry energy outward.
300
Hydrogen Gas.
What does the sun consists moslty of?
400
The electrically charged particles that flow out in all directions from the corona.
What is solar wind?
400
It gives off a pinkish type of light.
What kind of light does the chromosphere give off?
400
Core.
Where is energy produced in the sun?
400
Energy is produced when hydrogen in the sun's interior turns into helium.
How is energy produced from the sun?
500
Under these extreme conditions, some hydrogen particles collide and combine to form helium in a process called fusion.
What is fusion?
500
The chromosphere is the thin middle layer of the Sun's atmosphere.
What is the chromosphere?
500
The transfer of energy from place to place by the motion of heated gas or liquid.
What is convection?
