1 SU N BY: Cali Murphy

2 THE SUN HAS LAYERS!? WIKI-WIKI-WHATTTTTT?!?! NO! not those layers! These layers!!!

3 hardCORE! ! ! ! The innermost layer of the sun is the core! -the core’s temperature is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit! -fusion reactions produce energy in the form of gamma rays.

4 RRRRRadiation ZZZZZone It provides efficient transferring of energy near the core Hot and dense

5 CONVECTION Thermal columns carry hot material to the surface After it cools, it plunges down to the base of the convection zone to obtain more heat from the top.

6 PHOTOSPHERE! -Visible surface of the sun -solar atmosphere -can be seen with telescopes!

7 Chromosphere Thin layer above the visible surface Originated from the Greek word chromos It means color

8 Corona! The outer atmosphere of the sun Larger in volume than the sun itself Several million degrees

9 Energy production The sun produces energy through nuclear reactions in which nuclei collide and stick together. the nucleus calms down by releasing some energy in the form of a gamma ray, which helps to heat the sun.

10 Sun spots! Appear visibly as dark spots temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun caused by intense magnetic activity

11 Effects on Earth Warms out planet Energy drives much of our weather solar cosmic rays affect Earth‘s cloudiness.

12 The END!!!!
