  1. How do they work together to help life survive? our sun Sun, Moon, Earth,

  2. The inside stuff: • Core:

  3. The inside stuff: • Core: • The inner most layer of the sun.

  4. The inside stuff: • Core: • The inner most layer of the sun. • Temperatures in the core reach about 15,000,000 °C.

  5. The inside stuff: • Core: • The inner most layer of the sun. • Temperatures in the core reach about 15,000,000 °C. • Nuclear fusion happens here.

  6. The inside stuff: • Core: • The inner most layer of the sun. • Temperatures in the core reach about 15,000,000 °C. • Nuclear fusion happens here. • The energy produced at the core today will not reach the surface of the sun for a few hundred thousand years.

  7. The inside stuff: • Radiation Zone:

  8. The inside stuff: • Radiation Zone: • A zone of tightly packed gases.

  9. The inside stuff: • Radiation Zone: • A zone of tightly packed gases. • Transfers the energy from the core in the form of electromagnetic energy.

  10. The inside stuff: • Radiation Zone: • A zone of tightly packed gases. • Transfers the energy from the core in the form of electromagnetic energy. • The temperature ranges from 2,000,000°C to 7,000,000°C.

  11. The inside stuff: • Convection zone:

  12. The inside stuff: • Convection zone: • Outermost layer of the sun’s interior.

  13. The inside stuff: • Convection zone: • Outermost layer of the sun’s interior. • Convection currents here keep the energy moving towards the surface of the sun.

  14. The inside stuff: • Convection zone: • Outermost layer of the sun’s interior. • Convection currents here keep the energy moving towards the surface of the sun. • The temperature ranges from 2,000,000°C to 5,900 °C.

  15. The inside stuff: Convection zone Radiation zone Core

  16. The Atmosphere: • Photosphere:

  17. The Atmosphere: • Photosphere: • The visible portion of the Sun.

  18. The Atmosphere: • Photosphere: • The visible portion of the Sun. • Means sphere that gives off light.

  19. The Atmosphere: • Photosphere: • The visible portion of the Sun. • Means sphere that gives off light. • The temperature is about 6,000°C.

  20. The Atmosphere: • Chromosphere:

  21. The Atmosphere: • Chromosphere: • The portion that radiates most of the ultraviolet light.

  22. The Atmosphere: • Chromosphere: • The portion that radiates most of the ultraviolet light. • The temperature is about 10,000°C.

  23. The Atmosphere: • Corona:

  24. The Atmosphere: • Corona: • Extends several million kilometers from the “surface” of the sun.

  25. The Atmosphere: • Corona: • Extends several million kilometers from the “surface” of the sun. • The temperature is about 1,000,000°C.

  26. The Atmosphere: • Corona: • Extends several million kilometers from the “surface” of the sun. • The temperature is about 1,000,000°C. • Most of the Sun’s X-ray energy comes from here.

  27. The Atmosphere: • Solar Winds:

  28. The Atmosphere: • Solar Winds: • A stream of charged particles that are “blown” away from the sun.

  29. The Atmosphere:

  30. Features of the Sun: • Sunspots:

  31. Features of the Sun: • Sunspots: Cooler areas on the Sun’s “surface”.

  32. Features of the Sun: • Sunspots: Cooler areas on the Sun’s “surface”. • Caused by magnetic fields on the “surface” of the sun.

  33. Features of the Sun: • Sunspots: Cooler areas on the Sun’s “surface”. • Caused by magnetic fields on the “surface” of the sun. • As cool as 4,000 °C.

  34. Features of the Sun: • Sunspots: Cooler areas on the Sun’s “surface”. • Caused by magnetic fields on the “surface” of the sun. • As cool as 4,000 °C. • Run in cycles of about 11 years.

  35. Features of the Sun:

  36. Sun spots:

  37. Features of the Sun: • Solar Prominences:

  38. Features of the Sun: • Solar Prominences: Gases trapped in the magnetic field lines that connect sun spots.

  39. Features of the Sun: • Solar Prominences: Gases trapped in the magnetic field lines that connect sun spots. • Can rise up to 100,000 km above the “surface” of the sun.

  40. Solar Prominence:

  41. Features of the Sun: • Solar Flares:

  42. Features of the Sun: • Solar Flares: Happen when solar prominences connect together.

  43. Features of the Sun: • Solar Flares: Happen when solar prominences connect together. • Super heated gases (millions of degrees) on the “surface” erupt into space.

  44. Solar Flares:

  45. Coronal Mass Ejection:
