Exploring the Layers of the Sun

What is the innermost layer of the Sun called?

• chromosphere

• photosphere

• mantle

• core

What process occurs in the core of the Sun?

• Chemical reactions

• Gravitational collapse

• Solar wind generation

• Nuclear fusion

Name the layer of the Sun that is visible during a solar eclipse.

• Photosphere

• Mantle

• Chromosphere

• Corona

What is the temperature of the Sun's core?

• Approximately 15 million degrees Celsius

• Around 1 billion degrees Celsius

• Approximately 5 million degrees Celsius

• About 100,000 degrees Celsius

Which layer of the Sun is known for solar flares?

• Core

• Chromosphere

• Corona

• Photosphere

What is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere?

• corona

• mantle

• chromosphere

• photosphere

How thick is the Sun's corona compared to other layers?

• The corona is thicker than the photosphere.

• The corona is extremely thin compared to the photosphere and chromosphere.

• The corona has the same thickness as the chromosphere.

• The corona is the thickest layer of the Sun.

What is the main function of the Sun's radiative zone?

• To create the solar wind that affects Earth.

• To generate solar flares and sunspots.

• The main function of the Sun's radiative zone is to transport energy from the core to the outer layers through radiation.

• To maintain the Sun's magnetic field stability.

What happens to light as it travels through the Sun's layers?

• Light is completely reflected back into space.

• Light is transformed into heat and lost.

• Light travels straight through without interaction.

• Light is absorbed and re-emitted, scattering as it travels through the Sun's layers.

Why is the Sun's atmosphere important for life on Earth?

• The Sun's atmosphere is crucial for providing energy, regulating climate, and protecting Earth from harmful radiation.

• The Sun's atmosphere is responsible for creating weather patterns on Earth.

• The Sun's atmosphere cools the Earth during the day.

• The Sun's atmosphere is primarily made of water vapor.
