Sun: Is the star of the solar system
Plasma: The sun is so hot that the gases exist neither as molecules nor atoms. instead it exist as ______.
Core: this has a diameter of about 400,000 km. it generates a tremendous amount of energy from nuclear reactions
Radiationzone: It is about 300,000 km thick, above the core, and transports solar energy toward the surface by electromagnetic radiation.
Convectionzone: this zone is about the radiation zone, and transport energy toward the surface by convention movement of the sun's material
Solarinterior: together the convection and radiation zones are referred to as _______.
Photosphere: this is the sun's visible surface, estimated to be from 500 to 800 km thick, above the convection zone.
Chromosphere: it is the sun's lower atmosphere , extending outward from 10,000 to 19,000 km above the photosphere. this zone is made up primarily of hydrogen.
Corona: this is the sun's upper or outer atmosphere. during total solar eclipse, it can be seen as a white halo, about 706,000 km in thickness.
collectors: other term for solar panels.
Sunspots: are areas of gas that are relatively cooler than the rest of the sun's surface.
Solarprominences: are streams of very hot glowing gas rising high into the outer layer of the solar atmosphere and clearly visible at the edge of the sun.
Solarflares: are giant jets of gas that shoot up thousands of kilometers from the sun's surface
asteroidbelts: it lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Innerplanets: we refer to the planets closer to the sun than the asteroid belt as_______
Outerplanets: Planets beginning with Jupiter are called_______
Orbits: the planets revolve around the sun in their respective ________
elliptical: the orbits of planets are not exactly circular but a Little bit oval; they are ______
Perihelion: the point of the orbit that is closest to the sun
aphelion: the point of the orbit that is farthest to the sun
Terrestrialplanets: inner planets are rocky in composition and have solid surfaces, hence they are called_____
Icyplanets: Neptune and Uranus are very far from the sun and are extremely cold.hence they are celled______
