Mystery
100
The layers that make up the sun's interior? (At least 2)
Core, Radiative Zone, and the Convection Zone
100
The three parts that make up the Sun's atmosphere?
What are Chromosphere, Photosphere, and the Corona.
100

These are red and green bands or refracted light that occurs from solar winds

What are Auroras

100
Cooler areas that produce dark areas on the sun's surface.
What are sun spots?
100

Daily Double: This type of Aurora is found in Australia and Antarctica.

What is the Aurora Australis?

200
Zone where all electromagnetic waves move away from the core.
What is the radiation zone?
200
The layer of the sun which gives off light and is often called the sun's surface.
What is the photosphere?
200
Frequency changes cause this to change.
What is the type of EM radiation or type of "light"
200

This is a process that the Sun goes through near the equator and takes approximate 25 days.

What is the sun's rotation?

200
Reactant and product of the nuclear fusion
What are hydrogen and helium?
300
Zone where matter heats, rises, cools and sinks.
What is the convection zone.
300
The largest layer of the sun.
What is the corona?
300

This electromagnetic wave has a higher energy than UV waves but not greater than Gamma waves.

What are x-rays?

300
if a sunspot maximum occurs in 2010, when is the next minimum likely to occur
What is 2015 or 2016?
300

Daily Double: Protects the earth from the solar wind.

What is the magnetosphere or magnetic field?

400
Occurs in the sun's core.
What is nuclear fusion?
400
Are on an 11 year cycle.
What are sunspots?
400

This electromagnetic wave is the only radiation we humans can see with the naked eye and has a spectrum of its own.

What is visible light?

400
A straight stream of gas shooting out from the area of sunspot.
What is a solar flare?
400
99.9% of the mass
What is the mass of the sun compared to the solar system
500
The high energy mix of charged particles of which the sun consists.
What is plasma?
500
Charged particles that escape from the sun's surface create this constant event.
What is the solar wind?
500

All EM waves have this in common.

What is they all travel at the same speed in a vacuum?
500

Bright loops of gas following magnetic fields.

What is a solar prominence?

500

the process by two elements in the nuclei combine to make heavier elements

nuclear fusion
