Sun Spots

• sudden bursts of Sun's energy into space

• only part visible during solar eclipse

• where convection currents exist

• cooler darker parts of the Sun

Area where hot plasma rises then falls back down as it cools?

• core

• radiative zone

• convective zone

• plasma zone

What layer of the sun's atmosphere gives the sun its "white halo" during a solar eclipse?

• chromosphere
• photosphere
• corona
• atmosphere

Areas of gas on the sun's surface that are cooler than gases around them are called:

• corona
• prominences
• sunspots
• solarspots

Most of the sun’s energy is a result of

• nuclear fusion  
• nuclear fission
• atomic reactions
• coronal mass ejection
