  1. 2. Type of holes where charged particles stream through out into the Solar System.
  2. 3. Red features rising above the eclipsed Sun and reaching high into the corona. Often form loops.
  3. 6. A glowing of ionized atmospheric elements, generally in polar regions, caused by the solar wind interacting with Earth's magnetic field and impacting Earth's atmosphere.
  4. 7. The region between the chromosphere and the corona; temperature spikes in this region as one gets farther from the Sun's surface.
  5. 9. A thin, reddish layer of the Sun's atmosphere, generally only visible during total solar eclipses.
  6. 12. A bright region around sunspots that appear as "clouds", but in the chromosphere, with higher temperatures and densities than their surroundings. French for "beach".
  7. 13. A relatively cool, dark region where hot plasma is pushed aside by strong magnetic fields.
  8. 14. This element is fused into Helium inside the Sun by high temperatures and high gravitational forces.

  1. 1. The lowest layer of the Sun's atmosphere, what we see when we look at the Sun
  2. 4. The zone above the core; light takes millenia to get through this zone!
  3. 5. The zone in which energy is transported by the massive upwelling of material.
  4. 8. The visible top of the convection cells, each about the size of Texas.
  5. 9. The outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, visible as a bright halo around the Sun, especially during solar eclipses.
  6. 10. When this goes missing ENERGY is created!
  7. 11. The layer in which nuclear reactions occur, the center of the Sun.
