Across
- 2. layer of the Sun where energy and heat are transferred by thermal convection through thermal columns
- 4. relationship type for pressure and volume
- 7. the distance between successive crests
- 8. how many hydrogen atoms are required to fuse in order to form one helium atom?
- 10. the classification for high-mass and medium-mass stars on the H-R diagram
- 13. the bright yellow visible surface of the Sun
- 14. a cloud of gas and dust that all stars start off their life as
- 16. a particle representing a quantum of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, that carries energy proportional to its frequency
- 17. light waves that are traveling vibrations of both electric and magnetic fields
- 18. shows the spectrum of EM wavelengths emitted by a substance, with bright lines due to the emission of specific wavelengths
- 20. the average kinetic energy of all the atoms or molecules of that substance
- 21. the amount of space the particles have to move in or are contained to
Down
- 1. the amount of pushes the particles do on their container
- 3. layer of the Sun where energy and heat are transferred by a process called thermal radiation
- 5. the pinkish-red layer above the surface of the Sun that is thick and riddled with jets of hot gases
- 6. the wispy outermost layer of the solar atmosphere that extends millions of kilometers into space
- 9. method used to produce energy in most stars
- 11. shows the spectrum of EM wavelengths passed through a substance, with dark lines due to the absorption of specific wavelengths
- 12. the star in the center of our solar system
- 15. As our Sun's amount of hydrogen decreases over time, what will increase in our Sun?
- 19. this force keeps stars stable over time and keeps them from exploding due to the high temperatures and pressure of fusion in their cores
