Across
- 2. Very packed plasma forms electromagnetic waves millons of years to set out of sun
- 3. Built-up magnetic energy that is suddenly released
- 6. Giant glowing magnetic loops. Visible in photosphere
- 9. A chain where two singular protons eventually creates 4 protons and 2 neutrons. This chain repeats many times
- 10. Dark spots that are short lived but tend to be more visible based off of 11-year cycle
- 12. Powerful ejections of plasma caused by instabilities of the magnetic field
- 13. Bright as a halo. Means "Crown" in Latin. Extends for millons of kilometers
- 14. Visible during solar eclipse. Greek word meaning "color"
- 15. Solar wind charged particles are ejected from corona and Earth's magnetic field traps it
Down
- 1. Visible layer of the sun. Solar storms occur. No solid surface
- 4. Hot gases rise and fall. the motion looks grainy
- 5. State where the force of gravity is pulling inward and is balanced by pressure of pushing outward
- 7. When moon goes in between Sun and Earth so that only the chromosphere and Corona are visible
- 8. Nuclear fusion happens here with lots of energy being produced
- 11. Invisible matter that can destroy stars but in the end, they create life and the universe
- 12. An 11-year cycle when sunspots are more or less visible
