Question

match the layer of the sun to the correct description.
convective zone
radiative zone
corona
photosphere
chromosphere
core

• the \solar atmosphere\ glow in x - ray and uv waves
• the surface of the sun; sunspots
• energy takes thousands of years to move through this layer toward the surface
• where the nuclear fusion of h to he takes place
• thin layers of the sun that is sculpted by magnetic field lines
• energy moves toward the surface through currents of heated and cooled gases

Explanation:

• Core: Nuclear fusion of H to He occurs here.
• Radiative Zone: Energy takes thousands of years to move through this layer toward the surface.
• Convective Zone: Energy moves toward the surface through currents of heated and cooled gases.
• Photosphere: The surface of the Sun; sunspots are here.
• Chromosphere: Thin layers of the Sun that is sculpted by magnetic field lines.
• Corona: The "solar atmosphere" glows in x - ray and UV waves.

Answer:

Core - where the nuclear fusion of H to He takes place
Radiative Zone - energy takes thousands of years to move through this layer toward the surface
Convective Zone - energy moves toward the surface through currents of heated and cooled gases
Photosphere - the surface of the Sun; Sunspots
Chromosphere - thin layers of the Sun that is sculpted by magnetic field lines
Corona - the "solar atmosphere" glow in x - ray and UV waves
