Ess The Sun

This is the inner-most layer of the sun, where nuclear fusion happens. 

• core
• corona
• photosphere
• chromosphere

This layer contains currents of rising and sinking gas that carry energy to the surface.

• radiative zone
• corona
• chromosphere
• convective zone

Innermost layer of the sun's atmosphere; the layer we see unaided from Earth on a sunny day.

• chromosphere
• corona
• photosphere
• radiative zone

What type of star is the sun?

• A Red Giant

• A White Dwarf

• A Protostar

• A Main Sequence Star

The atmospheric layer just above the photosphere; glows a reddish color due to its hydrogen gas.

• Chromosphere

• Radiation Zone

• Photosphere

• Convection Zone

The layer of the sun just outside the core where energy moves outward by radiation (electromagnetic waves).

• Chromosphere

• Radiative Zone

• Photosphere

• Convection Zone

A nuclear reaction in which two lighter nuclei combine to form a single heavier nucleus and some of the original mass is converted to energy

• Fusion

• Fission
