🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Nuclear Fusion: A process occurring in the Sun's core where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy. This is the main energy source of the Sun.
  • Photosphere: The visible surface layer of the Sun with a temperature of about 6,000°C, where sunspots and faculae appear.
  • Sunspots: Dark, cooler areas on the photosphere caused by magnetic activity, with temperatures 1,500–2,000°C lower than surrounding areas.
  • Solar Atmosphere: The layers above the photosphere, including the chromosphere (thin, emits gases, visible during eclipses) and corona (outermost layer, extremely hot at about 2,000,000°C).
  • Prominence: Large, flame-like eruptions of gas from the chromosphere extending into the corona, often associated with magnetic fields.
  • Solar Flare: A sudden, intense explosion in the Sun's atmosphere releasing X-rays, UV rays, and energetic particles, impacting Earth's magnetic field and communication systems.
