Across
- 2. Type of holes where charged particles stream through out into the Solar System.
- 3. Red features rising above the eclipsed Sun and reaching high into the corona. Often form loops.
- 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.
- 7. The region between the chromosphere and the corona; temperature spikes in this region as one gets farther from the Sun's surface.
- 9. A thin, reddish layer of the Sun's atmosphere, generally only visible during total solar eclipses.
- 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".
- 13. A relatively cool, dark region where hot plasma is pushed aside by strong magnetic fields.
- 14. This element is fused into Helium inside the Sun by high temperatures and high gravitational forces.
Down
- 1. The lowest layer of the Sun's atmosphere, what we see when we look at the Sun
- 4. The zone above the core; light takes millenia to get through this zone!
- 5. The zone in which energy is transported by the massive upwelling of material.
- 8. The visible top of the convection cells, each about the size of Texas.
- 9. The outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, visible as a bright halo around the Sun, especially during solar eclipses.
- 10. When this goes missing ENERGY is created!
- 11. The layer in which nuclear reactions occur, the center of the Sun.
