| surface of the sun where light is emitted | photosphere |
| lower portion of the atmosphere, contains spicules, and is red | chromosphere |
| transports the sun’s energy through a rolling, conveyor belt, action where the bottom is hot, rises, cools at the top and then sinks again | convective zone |
| transports the sun’s energy in the form of radiation | radiative zone |
| where nuclear fusion occurs to produce the energy of the sun | core |
| outermost part of the sun’s atmosphere that increases in temp with distance | corona |
| boundary between two layers with a drastic increase in temperature | transition zone |
| active feature on the sun, that is dark, contains an umbra and a penumbra, AND is connected to magnetic activity | sun spot |
| active feature on the sun, that forms a loop high above the surface and have positve and negative ends related to magnetic activity | prominence |
| An active feature on the sun, that is a dark line, which in reality is looking at a loop above the surface of the sun edge on | filament |
| outflow of particles from the sun in all directions that affect everything in its path | solar wind |
| blotchy pattern on the sun's surface due to hotter gas rising and cooler gas sinking | granulation |
| process occurs in the sun to create such enormous amounts of energy | nuclear fusion |
| peak of solar activity on the sun | solar max |
| surface temperature | 5800K |
| Temperature in the core | 15,000,000 |
| Sun's atmosphere | Corona, Transition zone, Chromosphere, Photosphere |
| Sun's interior | Convective Zone, Radiative Zone, Core |
