  • What is the 1st layer of the Sun?
    Core
  • What is the 2nd step in how our Sun was formed?
    Gravity pulled these materials in towards each other, eventually collapsing & things started falling towards the center.
  • What creates Solar Winds?
    The outward expansion of plasma from the corona
  • What is the 2nd layer of the Sun?
    Radiative/Radiation Zone
  • What is the 4th step in how our Sun was formed?
    In the center, the material all started clumping together while the matter condensed even further, forming a ball of gas, the Protostar.
  • What is the name of our Sun?
    Sol
  • What is the 3rd step in how our Sun was formed?
    Things started spinning faster & faster creating a flattened disk.
  • What are CME’s?
    large expulsions of plasma & magnetic field from the Sun’s Corona (the outer atmosphere of the Sun)
  • What is the Sun’s magnetic field called?
    Heliosphere
  • True/False: Without the Sun, our planet would be free to move about space & we would be able to learn more as we traveled the galaxy. It would be amazing!
    False
  • True/False: Astronauts benefit from the Solar Winds sent out by the Sun.
    True
  • How does the Sun help our planet?
    It gives us light & heat, energy for our planets to grow, and keeps us help in place with its gravity.
  • What is the 3rd layer of the Sun?
    Convection zone
  • What does CME stand for?
    Coronal Mass Ejection
  • What is the 7th layer of the Sun
    Corona
  • True/False: If you are feeling a bit blue, go sit in the sun and take some deep, nourishing breaths.
    True
  • True/False: Our Sun contains about 80% of the total mass in our Solar System.
    False-it contains about 99.8% of the total mass in our Solar System.
  • True/False: Our Sun is dangerous and we would be better without it.
    False
  • What is the 4th layer of the Sun?
    Photosphere
  • What is the 5th & final step in how our Sun was formed?
    The temperature & pressure of the protostar’s material continued to increase over several millions of years & the hydrogen fusing into helium began, and this le
  • True/False: Being exposed to the Sun for long periods of time can enhance aging, wrinkles & skin damage.
    True
  • True/False: CME’s are good and we need them everyday.
    False
  • What is the first step in how our Sun was formed?
    Clouds of gas and dust were pushed together, or attracted towards each other because of gravity, along with some energy waves (the Solar Nebula)
  • What is another name for our Solar System?
    A Planetary System
  • What is the 6th layer of the Sun
    STR Solar Transition Region/Zone
  • True/False: Our Sun is composed of mostly Hydrogen & Helium
    True
  • What is the most important thing in our Solar System?
    the Sun
  • What is the 5th layer of the Sun
    Chromosphere
  • True/False: Our Sun is a White Dwarf Star.
    False-it is a Yellow Dwarf star…even though it appears white in color in space.
