Which of the following changes would cause the fusion rate in the Sun's core to increase? correct answers An increase in the core temperature A decrease in the core radius Which of the following must occur for a star's core to reach equilibrium after an initial change in fusion rate? correct answers If the fusion rate initially increases, then the core expands. If the fusion rate initially decreases, then the core contracts. What would happen if the fusion rate in the core of the Sun w...

Plasma - electrically charged gas Thermonuclear fusion - The transformation of lighter atomic particles into heavier ones, requiring high temperatures. Hydrostatic equilibrium - the condition in which gravity and gas pressure are balanced Differential rotation - Rotation of different regions of an object (different latitudes or depths) at different rates Core - the central region of a star where high temperatures and high densities allow thermonuclear fusion reactions to occur, releasing ...

Annalemma - The figure 8 curve that represents the angular offset of the sun from its mean position at as viewed from the earth Balance Point Temperature - The outdoor temperature at which a building makes the transition from a heating to a cooling need Daylight autonomy - The percentage of an area that meets a minimum daylight illuminance level or specified fraction of the operating hours per year. also referred to as special daylight autonomy Daylight factor - The ratio expressed as a p...

What were the early ideas of how the Sun shines? Why were these ideas incorrect? Why does the Sun shine? - Answer-Chemical burning was what humans thought made the sun shine. However, if this was true- the sun would be like a campfire that would need a fuel source and to be "fed" periodically. The Sun shines due to nuclear fusion Be able to name the Sun's layers from inside to outside and be able to know the importance of each layer (e.g. what type of light does the chromosphere emit?) -...
