Question

iii. matching type
match each description to the feature or layer of the sun. write the letter of the correct answer on the blank.
______ 1. it functions as a nuclear reactor which produces the suns enormous energy.
______ 2. this is the grainy appearance on the suns surface due to the bright, bubbling granules of plasma.
______ 3. it is referred to as the suns surface since it is the deepest layer that can be directly observed.
______ 4. this layer of dense plasma surrounds the core and carry energy outward towards the surface.
______ 5. this is the middle layer of the suns atmosphere where a reddish glow from the hydrogen plasma can be observed.
______ 6. it is the outermost layer of the atmosphere which forms a delicate white halo around the sun.
______ 7. it is the outermost layer of the suns interior which transports energy to the suns surface.

Explanation:

1. The core of the sun is a nuclear - reactor producing its energy.
2. Granulation on the sun's surface is due to bright, bubbling plasma granules.
3. The photosphere is the deepest directly - observable layer and is considered the sun's surface.
4. The radiative zone surrounds the core and carries energy outward.
5. The chromosphere is the middle layer of the sun's atmosphere with a reddish glow from hydrogen plasma.
6. The corona is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere forming a white halo.
7. The convection zone is the outermost layer of the sun's interior transporting energy to the surface.

Answer:

1. Core
2. Granulation
3. Photosphere
4. Radiative zone
5. Chromosphere
6. Corona
7. Convection zone
