The Suns Structure

2. Giant The type of star our sun will swell to when it runs out of Hydrogen.
3. The unit of measure for power.
5. The outermost layer where temperatures can reach 2 million degrees Celsius.
8. The element our sun uses to form Helium in the process of nucleosynthesis, it is found in the core of the sun.
9. The layer in which light is radiated out into space.
10. Zone An area of ionized gas (plasma) where energy in the form of photons is transported outward.
12. The area where Hydrogen is fused to Helium through a process called nucleosynthesis.
13. The sun is 330,000 times more massive than this planet.
14. 99.8% of all the mass in the solar system. It is the center of our solar system.

1. The coolest layer of the sun located above the photosphere.
4. Areas of magnetic disturbances on the surface of the sun.
6. The product or result of nucleosynthesis in our sun.
7. Zone This layer creates the sun’s magnetic field through convection currents.
11. Winds These can disrupt Earth’s magnetic field and come from solar flares, solar prominences and coronal mass ejections.
