How did our solar system form?
How is energy produced in the sun?
What is the sun made of? (draw)
What are sunspots?
How are solar flares formed?
How did our solar system form?
A nebula condensed under
gravitational pressure, collapsing
into a flat rotating disk.
How is energy produced in the sun?
Nuclear Fusion: Hydrogen is converted
into helium, releasing energy. This
occurs in the center of the sun.
What is the sun made of? (draw)
What are sunspots?
Dark area of the photosphere that is
cooler than its surroundings and has a
strong magnetic field.
How are solar flares formed?
The same magnetic fields that
cause sunspots can cause giant
eruptions from the sun’s surface.
These can interrupt radio communication on
earth because of the electrically charged
particles they release.
Reflection:
If Hydrogen collided with Hydrogen
under immense heat and pressure,
what element would form?
