PSU Astro 7N Exam 2
Hydrogen and Helium
What gases make up the solar?
Magnetic Activity
What causes sunspots?
Helium-four
What is made from four protons at some stage in fusion inside the solar?
Deuterium Nucleus (and launched strength)
Step 1 of P-P Chain
What bureaucracy when two protons collide at very excessive speeds?
Helium-three Nucleus
Step 2 of P-P Chain
When deuterium and a proton collide it makes this
Helium-4 Nucleus (and 2 protons and power)
Step 3 of P-P Chain
Two Helium-3 nuclei combine to make this
Deuterium
1 proton and 1 neutron sure together
Helium-3
2 protons and 1 neutron
Helium-4
2 protons and a pair of neutrons
, Core
Central a part of sun
High density and temperature
Nuclear reactions occur here
Gamma rays are produced right here
Radiative Zone
Region in solar
Photons are re-absorbed and re-emitted
Convective Zone
Region of the solar in which gases flow into
Light takes per week to get thru
Photosphere
The surface of the sun that we see
Chromosphere
Red/orange
We see through it
Flare
An eruption popping out of the solar due to magnetic hobby
Prominence
Hoop-formed eruption out of the solar due to magnetic hobby
Corona
Outer layer of solar
Low density
Only visible during sun eclipses
Luminosity
The real brightness of the superstar
The absolute energy output
