Parts of the sun
Across
- 4. Intense release of radiation and other energy
- 5. The layer surrounding the core where energy moves outward slowly
- 6. Darker, temporary spots on the Sun which are cooler in temperature showing intense solar activity
- 7. The outer shell of the interior where hot plasma rises toward the surface, cools, and sinks backdown in giant convection
- 8. A thin reddish layer directly above the photosphere that glows during solar eclipses
- 9. The visible surface of the Sun that emits the light and heat we see from Earth
Down
- 1. The sprawling outermost atmosphere of the Sun made of superheated plasma that streams outward to form the solar wind
- 2. The innermost region where nuclear fusion converts hydrogen into helium generating all of the sun's energy
- 3. A thin layer separating the photosphere and chromosphere from the corona
