THE SUN

CORE

• Made up of thick, heavy gasses
• Temperature can reach 15,000,000 degrees celsius
• Nuclear reactions in the core produce all of the suns energy
• Heat and light move out and enter the next layer of the sun

RADIATION ZONE

• The gasses are much cooler than those in the core
• Still a very hot area
• Made up of large cells of rising and sinking gasses

SUNS SURFACE

• Temperature can reach 4600 degrees celsuis
• Made up of cells of circulating gasses called granulos

SUN SPOTS

• Sun spots are dark regions on the suns surface
• Typically the size of earth
• They come and go with a about 2 year cycle
• Are 7,800 degrees

SOLAR FLARES

• Burst out thousands of miles into space
• When they burst out, they are temporarily as hot as the core

ATMOSPHERE

• Lower layer is called chromosohere
• Chromosphere is rose colored and expands 2,000 km into space
• Outer layer is called coronn
• Coronn extends millions of km into space

PREDICTED FUTURE

• The sun will eventually consume its core
• Inner planets will be consumed
• Hot winds will blast outer planets
• The sun will then consume itself
