The Sun Structure Quiz

The internal structure of the sun consists of the

• core, photosphere, and chromosphere

• core, radiative zone, and convective zone

• radiative zone, convective zone, and sun spots

• core, radiative zone, and photosphere

The outer structure of the sun consists of the

• photosphere and chromosphere

• corona and chromosphere

• photosphere, chromosphere, and core

• photosphere, chromosphere, and corona

What takes place in the core?

• nuclear fusion

• convection

• radiation

• microwaving

Between the radiative zone and the "surface" of the sun. Transports energy through convection.

• core

• radiative zone

• convective zone

• corona

The photosphere is the

• visible surface of the sun that emits radiation into space

• area around the sun that gives off light

• zone between the core and the convective zone

• zone in the very middle

The lower part of the Sun's atmosphere just above the photosphere.

• corona

• chromosphere

• photosphere

• core

The upper atmosphere of the sun

• corona

• core

• chromosphere

• photosphere

Sun spots are black because

• they are hotter than their surroundings

• they are cooler than their surroundings

• they are more dense areas of the sun

• they are less dense areas of the sun

Nuclear fusion is

• the bonding of 2 hydrogen atoms which makes 1 helium atom

• the bonding of 5 hydrogen atoms to make 10 helium atoms

• the bonding of 3 nitrogen to make 6 oxygen

• the bonding of 2 helium to make 1 hydrogen
