Topic 6 Lesson 1

Diane and Betty wrote a short paragraph that gives information about their model’s layers. Select the missing words to complete their paragraph.

The sun has three main layers. The layer where the sun’s energy is generated is the ( corona, radioactive zone, core, photosphere).

The (corona, radioactive zone, core, photosphere) and the convective zone carry that energy to the sun’s surface.

• Core/Radioactive Zone

• Corona/Photosphere

• Core/Corona

• Radioactive Zone/Corona
