The Sun and Stellar Classification
Across
- 4. twisted magnetic field lines and release huge amounts of plasma
- 9. the Sun's marbled pattern
- 11. area of concentrated magnetic field lines
- 12. upper layer, transparent
- 13. where hydrogen fusion happens
- 14. active zone energy carried toward the surface by radiation
- 15. square the farther a star is from Earth the dimmer it looks
Down
- 1. a measure of brightness of a star
- 2. amount of light a star emits
- 3. magnetic loops above sunspots, can carry plasma
- 5. middle layer, transparent
- 6. twisted magnetic field lines relax and release huge amounts of x-rays
- 7. lowest layer, emits visible light, what we see
- 8. the actual brightness of a star
- 10. zone energy carried toward the surface by convection
